Organization: University of Cape Town

Has anybody got the Novell Network Requester RPRINTER utility
to work?  

I used it successfully last week to set up my computer 
as a remote printer server for our Novell LAN, but the next 
morning when I came in my OS/2 system had frozen up and 
needed a cold re-boot.  When I tried to re-start RPRINTER, 
it failed even before I could select any options, and 
produced a system error SYS3175 (access violation).  

Since then, I've had continuous problems with my system 
crashing daily.  I have obtained a fresh copy of the
RPRINTER.EXE file and also tried putting a 
SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY 
statement in CONFIG.SYS, and also tried emptying the
startup folder, but this all made no difference, 
RPRINTER still fails, even when I am not attached to the
server.

It is a 486(33mHz) clone with American Megatrends AMI BIOS, 
8 mb RAM, and 160 mb IDE disk with boot manager and OS/2 on HPFS.

Anybody have a clue that may help me?

Hi folks!
I have a little problem.
I hope it is little.
I have connect two PC's with KirschbaumNet.
For some days one of them is an OS/2 PC.
An now i don't get any connection to the OS/2 machine.
Is there anybody out there who can solve this problem.
Are there any drivers for Kirschbaum for OS/2, or
a mixed Net with OS/2 and DOS PC's ???

If there is any help, please post me the answer.
And, if possible , a number of an FTP-Server were i can
get the stuff.

Thanx

I have an answer from IBM on this, but I would like a little re-affirmation
from anyone in the know, since I'm not sure I believe them:

In order to run DDCS/2 (Distributed Database Connection Services) as a client,
is it necessary to have the Database Server installed, or would the 
Database Manager alone suffice?  All I am interested in doing is using 
DDCS to access data on a remote database.

We have no local printers on our OS/2 boxes, and print everything

et. al. to print directly to this, rather than having to save to a

Netware 3.11 Users,

We'd been running WP for Windows 5.1 under OS/2 2.0 (with the 
FIXWP applied) successfully (if you can call occasional crashes "successful"!), then 
we connected these 3 workstations to a Netware 3.11 network using the Requester.
Since there are non-OS/2 workstations on this network, we still must run 
the "fixed" WP4W from a local hard drive.   This seems to work, except for a fatal
"GPF error in Module NETWARE.DRV" when printing.  So, WP4W is unusable.
Unfortunately, I may have muddied the waters somewhat by applying the CSD at
the same time that we put these machines on the network.

WordPerfect says it's some problem with Netware.  Novell wants $150 an hour
to talk to me.  Anyone else experience this problem?

Yes, LanMan provides file sharing services, and yes FoxPro works
fine on it. The only thing you need to worry about is some 
incompatibilities between the DOS clients memory managers and
Fox'. They're slightly incompatible. Call MS for details.

I installed the requester and I can go into any filerserver in the

I want to be able to use OS/2 drivers that would allow me to do those 
things. Could anybody give me some information about software I could

I'm porting a client-server application to IBM's TCPIP for OS2.

I need to be able to set a close-on-exec flag on the sockets I open, because
the server is supposed to start new processes (which should not inherit
any descriptors).

On the UNIX-port I can use fcntl() to set this flag, but this can't be 
done in IBM's implementation (I believe) because sockets and filedesriptors
do not come from the same domain.

I would be grateful for any ideas...

 	There is no print redirector in the PC/TCP for OS/2 so far.

 	PC/TCP for OS/2 includes NETLIB.DLL which maps the

If so please drop me a brief note pointing me in the right

I have been asking the same question this very week (except the unix box

have spoken to half a dozen people. One comprehended the problem. I got
no promises about what IBM will do but they have acknowledged there is a

Hi,

Where can one look if he wants to do this? What documentation?

Anybody have enough experience writing a TSR fro DOS VDMs and a device driver
for OS/2 to tell us if it would be easy to use an actual DOS packet driver
as the device driver, and some sort of 256 byte program to go in a VDM as
a virtual packet driver?

Anybody have any relevant info for someone who wants to do this? Like where
to start? What to read? Where to get example source code? Who to ask for
advice? Etc?

Thanks from me, and anybody else who ends up trying to do this.

Try using just IBM's stack, with LAN Manager's REDIR.IFS. This probably won't
work if you have to go back and add the LM atalk stuff or other dealies, but it
might isolate it down. If you can get the IBM stack working, and then get lanman
on top of that, and *then* get TCP/IP stuff going...

Just a thought. BTW, I could never get it going here either. IBM sez they've
got customers that do it, but it's not a supported config (go figure), and
wouldn't give us names.

IBM TCP/IP doesn't seem to pick up the address of baseband (ISA) cards
correctly.  Actually, I think it might be a bug in IBMNET.OS2. I'm
having problems in getting two machines running OS/2 2.0 (service pack
applied) to communicate using IBM TCP/IP (with latest patches from
ftp-os2) over baseband.  I can get the machines to communicate using
various DOS TCP/IP implementations.

A homebrew network monitor shows that the source hardware address field
in arp packets bears little resemblance to the actual source hardware
address of the arp packet.  As further evidence, things start working
if I use arp -s to manually set the hardware address to the broadcast
address (on both machines).

Are there any other possible explanations/work arounds?  I'd like to
add more machines to the network and manually setting the arp address
is not an option on some of them.  Are there any later versions of
IBMNET.OS2?  The version I have is dated 2-18-92 2:58p and has a size
of 13524 bytes.  Thanks,

Organization: Department of Surgery, Yale University School of Medicine
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1992 22:50:53 GMT

I'm trying to get a slip connection going between my machine at work and my 
machine at home. The work machine is connected to our campus ethernet and 
running TCP/IP 1.2.1 (os/2 2.0). The home machine is also running OS/2 2.0 
and the slip portion of TCP/IP (ie, no network). I want to connect from home 
to the work machine and thereby gain access to the campus network.

The big question: can my work machine act as a slip server in this fashion?

If so, I'm real confused about what sort of IP addresses to assign to the 
various interfaces. The docs are little help. Should they all be on the same 
subnet? Should the slip interface on the work machine use the same IP 
address as the ethernet board? If the machine at work is going to act as a 
router, then I would assume I need to assign the slip connection an entirely 
different subnet. Bad assumption? And finally (*whew*) what sort of routing 
entries do I need on both machines.

I've tried configuring this thing several ways, and the home machine has no 
obvious problems connecting (I get a connect message and carrier doesn't go 
away, so I guess I've connected!), but no data gets exchanged. If I ping the 
work machine I get 100% packet loss.

I would really appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks

Thanks to many who responded, the drivers were on "ftp.3com.com".

The install utility didn't work well.... but the driver was intact and the
batch file that botched the install was readable enougf for me to figure out
the install.  Thanks to the multitude!!!  You guys are a LOT of help!

Where (ftp site) can I locate drivers for my 3Com 2c509 (Etherlink III) card?
Ftp-os2 has drivers for the etherlink II series... but those don't work on
etherlink III cards (or at least I havn't figured out how to make 'em work!).

I know 3com has ftp distribution.... but I can't recall the machine's name!

Anyone?
