No, you can't.  At this time, the PM/WPS doesn't support drag & drop or
other such neat network functions on NFS drives.

An IBMer told me that it was going to be supported eventually, but had no
idea when.

It should be, unless it is ISA based :-(; considering the number

Lan Manager runs only under OS/2 1.3, but you can adopt IBM Lan Server 3.0
which is Lan Manager compatible (i.e.: LM requester can ask services to
LS ; conversely LS requesters can ask services to LM servers, and you can
mix both environments on the same LAN): so you don't need LM at all.

I have just applied the latest CSD (at least I assume it is the latest one) 
which I retrieved from ftp-os2:/pub/uploads.  I now find that I can no longer
send print jobs to our printers connected to a UNIX host (a sparc station).  I
get a message saying 'Server Error:  Server cannot open or write to printer'
and (on the next line) 'Transmit failed:'.  The LP daemon on the UNIX host says
'Protocol Screwup'.  I find that I can print, however, without any trouble when
I change my lpr.exe and lprmon.exe back to the earlier version.  Am I doing
anything wrong or is this a known bug with the service package ?

Are you sure the "Access denied" message is because of local security?
It might be giving you that message because the file system wasn't closed
properly ( it's not closed when the computer locks up ).  Why don't you
try booting off a floppy and doing a chkdsk c: /f:3?

Subject: TCP/IP from PDK and applying CSD's
Organization: National Library of Medicine
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 93 13:43:17 GMT

I have gotten the base product up and
basically working, using the code from the latest PDK CD ROM.  I tried
applying the CSD for the base product (latest from hobbes), but get a
message saying that I must be using a 'refreshed' version of TCP/IP to apply
the fix.  I'm guessing that I can't apply CSD's to a beta version?
(an older CSD TCP2274.ZIP also mentions that it should only be applied to the 
'refreshed' product)

I'm also wondering then if I'm wasting my time with the beta version since 
there have been so many fixes and since I am experiencing irregular operation
of telnet etc.  It would really help if anyone can confirm that the version
from the PDK works AT ALL because I'm trying to convince my boss to go to
OS/2.  One compelling reason would be so that we can run both the Novell
requester and do telnet simultaneously.  This is in a hospital with 200+
workstations on a Netware 3.11 LAN.  So, after ordering (and waiting) for
the PDK CD ROM so we can try out TCP/IP, and spending a good amount of time
getting both the requester and tcp/ip stuff to even load correctly, 
experiencing flakey behavior with TCP/IP AND (apparently) not being able
to apply fixes, I'm wodering if I'm wasting my time (ie I have to tell my
boss we now must order the 'real' product to actually see if it works).

Any help/hints greatly appreciated.  Obviously if we go with the product,
we'd order 200+ copies or a site license etc.

I recently bought the 2.1b CD and the November PDK CD, with TCP/IP beta.
I installed both, but have removed TCP/IP as it had a rather annoying
habit of crashing my machine. This was unpredictable, but didn't seem
to correlate with my doing anything unusual - it might occur after merely
using telnet once.

Sometimes I'd get some warning that things were wrong - no keyboard response,
but the mouse would still work; all 3 indicator lights coming on for no
reason, and pressing NUMLOCK causing the CAPSLOCK and SCROLL LOCK lights
to go off, but not affecting the NUMLOCK light, etc. If I pressed CAD at that
point, all was OK. However, if I didn't press this (and sometimes there was
no warning) the machine locked solid. The mpouse cursor didn't move,
pressing any keys had no effect at all, and the only solution was to switch
off and back on.

Has anyone else noticed this? It looks like a great package, worth buying,
but ONLY if it doesn't kill the OS. For now, I'm back to single session
DOS programs in a window...

NTS/2 works fine with ethernet - AS LONG AS you don't want to do what the
original poster wants to.  Namely, the Virtual 802.2 emulation in the VDMs
does not support ethernet flavored packet drivers.  Packet driver <->NDIS
shims do not work either.  Only strict 802.2 applications are said to work
with 802.2 in VDMs on ethernet, and I don't have any of these to test.  ALl
I do know, is that the IBMTOKEN.COM packet driver, which is supposed to use
the 802.2 interface, does not work on an ethernet equiped machine, though it
appears to initialize properly.

More than that, I do not know...   (All of this made my day after being told
throughout development of NTS/2 that it would solve my problems with programs
that require packet driver support.  :-( )

Install the NetWare requester. Then install LAN Adapter Protocol Support (LAPS). This came with your TCP/IP disks. Choose NetWare Requester support if it is available. Next install TCP/IP Support. 

If your version of LAPS offered NetWare requester support, double click on the NetWare line and a dialog will appear. The first line will be for the universal address of your Ethernet card.  Enter that number and exit LAPS.  Alternately, you can edit the LANADDRESS = line in \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI

If LAPS did not have NetWare support, you must follow the directions in Chapter 6 of the NetWare Requester for OS/2 manual.

Good luck!

The reason it isn't a subprogram is because it is an executable of its own.  Instead of trying to execute NET LOGON and NET LOGOFF, try just typing LOGON and LOGOFF.  The parameters are a little different (/dom [domain] in DOS, /d [domain] in OS/2) but you 
should have on-line command reference.  Just look in there for specific parameters

NOTE: Lan Requestor 3.0 with Peer Services is a little different (added parameters).
      Watch out for that.

Reply-To: ghenniga@NMSU.Edu

I think I found another bug in IBMs TCP/IP CSD Level UN32131, or at least a 
"feature" that no longer works. Before I applied the CSD I would commonly
increase the size of my OS/2 command window and then "vt100 hostname". If the
remote was a Sun I could then make use of the extra rows in the window. Now
it appears that the vt100.exe binary doesn't allow this, it's stuck at 25
lines/rows. Here's what I did before the CSD:

		1) Open an OS/2 command window.
		2) [C:\] mode co80,30
		3) [C:\] vt100 hostname
		4) (login to remote Sun host)
		5) hostname[1]% stty rows 30

Normally, if I brought up the editor it would then recognize the additional
lines in my window, which made editing large code that much easier. This, at
least for me, no longer functions. Can anyone confirm this?
	Also I thought I'd try the above with vt220.exe and the same thing
happened, although I can't be sure if it ever worked before. Also, I
noticed that vt220.exe now does not pass Ctrl+C through to the remote host.
When in emacs if I type a Ctrl+C emacs doesn't receive it but instead I get
the familiar:  

	"External process cancelled by a Ctrl+Break or another process"

even though it doesn't actually kill the vt220 session.
	What's the deal with this CSD by the way? Did they totally rewrite
a large chunk of it? Perhaps converting to 32-bit C or something?

Just Annoyed,

One comment, though: The 32-bit libs work quite well. There's only one
problem though: Buffers which are to be written to the network with the
send call must not cross a 64k boundary. I just used to call send(sockid,
buffer, 128000) for instance to transmit an 128000 byte buffer. This is
*NOT* possible with the PROGCSD.ZIP or PRGCSD.ZIP extension. You got
to chop up your buffer in smaller pieces, copy the pieces to a buffer
which does not cross a 64k boundary (I use a buffer on the stack) and
transmit this buffer.

I hope they come up with a fully 32-bit implementation of the TCP/IP
package soon...

This is a known limitation in OS2You version 2.7 (the cursor position

Well, I also applied the latest TCP/IP CSD over the base distribution running  
under the 2.1beta. LPRMON works fine for me when printing from WordPerfect  
for Windows to a Unix printer. In fact, the Unix printer in question is  
actually sitting on an Appletalk network.

I'm running CAP (Columbia Appletalk Package) on a NeXT, and a NEC  
Silentwriter on the Appletalk network is entered in the NeXT's printcap, etc.  
The OS/2 LPRMON.EXE is able to redirect output to this printer just fine.
