Thanks to all who responded to my earlier message.  I'm using TE/2 1.20
right now, and loving it!  :-)

One question:  where can I get 1.21?  I looked at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, and
got 1.20, but 1.21 isn't there.  I'd like to ftp it from somewhere..

Thanks!

Matt.

Hello,

I finally figured out how to mount my home directories on a SUN
onto my PC using NFS (IBM's TCP-IP, NFS ....)  Thanks to
some kind net-folk.

I cannot mount my PC disks (actually PS/2-80) to the SUN using
Sun's mount!  

"root" also tried to mount, could not succeed.

What must be done on the Sun-side to mount my disks?

Thanks!

Did you try the -b(inary) option of lprmon? I've never tried it w/o, but
with it, graphics come out just fine on a Panasonic 1091 connected to a
unix machine.  I believe the binary option instructs lpd on the server to
leave the file alone, and not to pipe it through any filters.

You should install the TCP 2274 CSD that was just posted to
comp.binaries.os2.  It solved several problems I was having.

Btw, I've never tried this, but I'm 99.9% sure you don't need physical
serial ports in order to use redirection.  Ie, You could have left your
Proprinter on hardware LPT1 and installed your LaserJet driver for LPT2
and just use lprmon on LPT2 to send to the network.

I have some very basic networking questions that I desperately need help
with. I would like to hook up to the Ethernet network at U.B. here, and
display Xwindows using either Desqview/X, or OS/2, both of which I have
running. I have a 3Com503 card & have got the setup to accomplish
telnet & ftp (though shakily, works best only to a Sun workstation in
the same office), this using a public domain 3C503 packet driver, some
file (small) NETDEV.SYS in my CONFIG.SYS ( DOS only, can't get this
to work in a OS/2 DOS session, or in a Desqview/X DOS window, packet driver
driver crashes OS/2, Desqview/X mekes it to login, then locks up ), &
the public domain (I guess) FTP & TELNET programs. I took the card out
of a 286 we had here, put it in my computer, copied the software over,
& accomplished what the 286 did (TELNET,FTP). I did the switch to get
Xwindows, what else do I need ? I know for Desqview/X I need the network
manager for PC/TCP, will this do it. Am I a fully functioning node on
the network if I can FTP & TELNET? I am totally confused as to the difference
between TCP/IP & PC/TCP, one is the protocal right? ,which is it, what
do I need to fully implement it? , am I already? Do I need this
IBM's TCP/IP package (or whoevers)? , what do I need for PC/TCP ?, 
finally how can I do Xwindows on OS/2. I would really appreciate it if
one of you knowledgeable people would take the time to post a little
begginers course on this stuff, deciphering some of these acronyms.

I appoligize if this is a FAQ, but I have just installed OS2 on my
system.  I was originally only to test it and then delete the partition.
 I am so pleased with it I will end up keeping it!  I am surprised as to
it's speed when running HPFS on a 42mg 28ms IDE drive.  Maybe 16mg of
RAM helps too, I don't know.

Anyway, what do I need to do in order to install PC\TCP support for a
token ring card?  I have all the drivers etc that work under DOS (ie
loaded in config.sys and auotexec.bat) but how do I put them in my OS2
bootup? 

System note:
DOS files are accessible as they lie in an extended partition. (HD 1)
OS2 installed in extended partition (HPFS) on HD2

Bootmanager chooses between DOS5 (primary on HD1) versus OS2 (see above)

files that need to be loaded (under DOS) for token-ring

ipcust.sys
ibmtr.sys
dxmc0mod.sys
dxma0mod.sys
ibmtr.exe

All help much appreciated.

IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 for OS/2 appears to be the only viable native OS/2
solution.  (On the DOS side you can use almost anything -- PC-NFS, for
example.)  Stay tuned, though -- I expect this area will get
interesting in the near future.

I am working on an equivalent to the DIS_PKT.DOS shim for OS/2, which will
provide a user-level (Ring 3) callable interface to an NDIS driver.  The
semantics are intentionally very similar to the FTP packet driver spec,
which means a Virtual packet driver could be written fairly easily.  When
I originally mentioned this project, someone offered to write such a 
VDD.  (I still have your email address somewhere, so hang on...I'll 
tap your shoulder yet)

Unfortunately, I can't give you a time frame, as this is a very low 
priority project (due to lack of time) right now.  I can see that interest
in such a driver is definitely rising, however, so I'll try to scratch
up some more time...bear with me....

If you just can't wait, I remember mention in this group a while ago
of someone who was porting an app to OS/2, and he had done much of 
the NDIS interface work already.  If he's willing to share his code,
it could perhaps be coerced into a virtual packet driver. (Or I might
be able to use it to speed up my work)

This is the package installed off of the PDK CD ROM(with the 2274 CSD

the 2252 CSD from HOBBS?  As well as the CSD for PMX?  I believe those CSDs
came out in July, wasn't the CD was mastered sometime after that?  If
so, how come the latest CSDs weren't applied?  

Is the CSD installation smart enough to NOT copy over something newer if
someone accidently attempts to install and older CSD on top of it?

Followup-To: comp.os.os2.networking

I am new to the OS/2 arena, so please be patient and excuse me if this
sounds trivial.

We purchased OS/2 with the intent of installing NetWare's Requestor and
having multiple DOS windows available for running various tasks associated
with our NetWare environment.  So far, things have worked out well.  We can
open a multitude of DOS windows, each with its own private IPX session.

However, in some of these windows, we would like to run various gateways
which will require separate IP addresses.  Questions: 

1) How is an IP address associated with a particular NIC, i.e. do I need
software for this, or is it a simple addition to the NET.CFG file (there
are multiple NICs in this machine)?  

2) How do I direct a given DOS session to utilize a particular NIC?

Hi all,

I saw the IBM TCP/IP CSD whizz by in c.b.o, but where is it on hobbes? 
I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find it!  Is it on watson
somewhere?  Why is there nothing in the c.b.os2 directory on hobbes?   

Just a little side note, if you want the TCP/IP package, then you have
internet access, and anonymous ftp, so why does the CSD have to be
posted to the c.b.os2 bboard?  It seems kind of like a waste.  Maybe I
just don't know how things work, really.  I guess some funny SLIP setup
wouldn't allow ftp.   Thats not really the question though.

lprmon with IBM's TCP/IP 1.2.1 works for me, going to a Postscript
printer.

Your posting is slightly unclear to me.  You did change the default
printer driver and the printer driver in Settings for your LPT1 icon?
Does the icon on the WPS desktop look like a laser printer or a line
printer?

Some of your PM applets should be able to tell you what kind of printer
they think they're using.  If your WPS icon shows an HP, they should,
too.  This is merely another way of clarifying that you in fact are
shoving HP format stuff out to the print queue.

Good luck, and keep trying; it *is* possible.  (As a last resort, delete
the current WPS printer and install a new one from Templates.  This
means using the installation diskettes, but it might be worth it.)
