Subject: ONS/2 2.0 and Novell Netware 2.12....help(?)
From: Steve.Withers@bbs.actrix.gen.nz
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 11:34:00 GMT
Organization: Actrix Information Exchange


A friend of mine is using OS/2 on a Netware 2.12 LAN. He has used both the 2.0
requester and the 2.01 updated requester.  
 
Here is his problem: If he copies a file (copy file.one to file.two), then
file.two shows as having zero records and remains open until he closes that
window completely. This happens in both DOS vdms and OS/2 full screen and
windowed sessions. 
 
In it's most extreme form, when he edits a file - then saves it - then tries
to edit it again, he gets a sharing violation. He is trying to share the file
with his own session! Obviously, the file isN'T being closed properly. 
 
The work-around is to open an OS/2 session,"start /DOS" a DOS session,
execute the desired command, then "exit" back to the OS/2 command line. This
allows the file to be closed for the next operation on it. Clumsy, but it
works.  

Does anyone know of this problem? Is there a fix for it? 
 
Thanks
 
Steve

According to the FTPPM docs, it should be possible to change
directories on the remote system by double clicking on the desired
directory in the window showing the remote systems file and directory
listing.

When I try to do this, I always get 'directory invalid ...'
The only thing that works is to type the desired directory explicitly.
The remote systems are all unix boxes, is this the problem?  Does
it only work on OS/2 remote systems?  ( I don't know of any other 
OS/2 hosts running TCP/IP that I can test this on so I can't check
this!)


Also, sometimes if the remote host is down and I try to log in with
FTPPM, it hangs and when I try to kill FTPPM I get a general
protection fault (Trap D).  Anyone else seen this behaviour?

Per advice of our Unix guys I did something similar using "cd /nfs/..."

We recently installed OS/2 TCP/IP 1.2.1 and are having trouble doing NFS mounts.
On my machine, I get a halt-the-system trap d when I try to access a file (dirs
work fine, only when I try to read it) and another gentleman is getting his
whole system hung (hit the switch time) when he tries.  We are both running 2.0
GA on PS/2s with IBM Token Ring cards, Lan Requestor, and he has an XGA display
and is running the Netware requestor.  Testing has shown that we can use the
TCP/IP 1.2+ version of NFS.IFS and NFSCTL.EXE and the hangs go away (I have not
tried it on my machine to see if the traps go away).  Is there something later
than 1.2.1 to fix these???

I don't think that's configurable at this point.  A short term
solution would be to run the telnet session in a full-screen session,
rather than a command window.  The dark blue text isn't highlighted
text, it's underlined text.  In a full-screen session the underlining
will work fine, but the OS/2 command windows are color only, and the
underline attribute gets turned into the blue.

Okay foax, here's the situation.

Our school just pulled thier IBM support so I can't get the new
TCP/IP software educationally (at least I haven't found out a
way to -- any clues?).

So, I'm trying to use this here PM NOS (port of KA9Q) that is on
giskard.uthscsa.edu.  It's not working very well.

Is there anyone out there who has this working?  I need to see a copy
of someone's autoexec.nos file and see how they got things working.

I have already (and successfully) attached my com3 for SLIP
connections, started all of the services I want, given myself a
hostname, etc, but I can't dial out.  Does one HAVE to use the
'dialer' command for this?  Whenever I use it, PM NOS quite
suddenly...exits.  No warning, nothing.  I'm using the old comm
drivers like it says in the readme.

I could also stand to see an example of a domain.txt file.

Any and all help would be appriciated.
THANKS!

Oh, and is there a way to hack the source easily (I haven't looked
at it yet) to NOT require an IP at startup, or to receive one
when dialing out?  Our school has this twisted system of issuing
the IP *when you dial in*.  Could be different every time.
I guess it saves on paperwork, I don't know...it's braindead or 
something.  Anyway, before I start hacking the code up, I'd like
to see if someone has already done the work for me...

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend :


I'm having some problem trying to install PC support on OS/2.

I installed pc support under DOS before and I remember it provides me four
functions: message function, virtual printer function, organizer function
and workstation function.  The workstation function allows my PC get onto
IBM AS/400.

When I tried to install PC support under OS/2, I found it only provides three
functions. The workstation function feature is missing.  Is it because the
communication manager on OS/2 already provides this function? Is the 5250
workstation feature on OS/2 the same as the workstation funtion PC support
provides under DOS?

Before I go off and order IBM's TCP/IP, could someone please tell
me if you have to have an IP address *BEFORE* you make a SLIP
connection, or can you set it after the connection is made.

To avoid security risks, our university issues an IP address
after you call so no one can use one that is assigned to you.

If you hang up and call back again, your IP will probably
be different (inconvienent for mail handlers, yes, but I guess
they have a valid point).

But if I am root, then quick changes to a few files on my system will allow me
to change the internet address and host mane of my system to be the same as

It is an OS/2 native application with special virtual drivers for DOS 
boxes.  There are two types of DOS boxes, these being global and private. 
In a global session, the network drives are recognisable and each session 
acts as another.  In a private session, you can have it quasi-global or 
execute the supplied NETX.COM (identical to the regular one with a few 
twists) and then your lastdrive + 1 becomes your LOGIN directory - and 
you log in as if you're using DOS to log in.  
 
This is great for testing your network apps, believe me.  
 
Matt
 
P.S. You can have many, many private and global sessions on many, many 
servers with the right hardware - all at the same time.  In fact, OS/2 
requestor supports multiple network cards - and multiple data 
frames/types.  Ie, you can use ARCNET, ETHERNET 802_3, Token ring off the 
same machine.

You need any SLIP package, e.g. IBM's TCP/IP package ($130 at academic
