If you run into any problem, you would probably have the same problem when
trying to install it from a local CD rom. (Hardware incompatibilities like
large IDE disk drives (2 Gig is too large for an unfixed Warp Connect, SCSI
works fine) or NE2000 cards that block the system.)
Or you just have read all this stuff about a CID server and all this IBM

Two different cards.
But the problem is, that you can't be sure that the IO address and IRQs are
right until you actually boot from the diskettes. And you have to keep in
mind that you set up bootdisks for a different machine than the one you are
just working on. I've met people who where not up to this task.
I didn't see a speed difference between an over the network install and local
install from a double speed cd rom. I tried it once over a parallel port
(there is actually a "network driver" for the parallel port included in Warp
Connect) but it was that awfully slow that I preferred to create the disks
from the disk images...

yes.  The Windows NT server in this instance should be reconfigured so that

Have you looked at what the default user login script does ?  I don't

It is still an hour or two more, and a 10 Mbps network still performs like a

They wrote:

LG> Like one has an option???

Write your reply.

assistant: I played with it a bit more, and there is logic in there. What you should do
first is look in Connections, Network Services, Shared Resources, Permissions
and see what the ACLs look like for the drive you want to share. Click on the
drive in question; if there is a "(drive)" ACL, the drive is shared in its
entirety, and new directories will be visible. If "(drive)" is not there, but
"\" and a bunch of subdirectories are there, then individual ACLs have been
set up and new directories will not be visible. If "(drive)", "\" and the
rest are _all_ in there, "(drive)" appears to take precedence.
Back to my original statement, if you share DRIVE:, you will also share new
directories on the drive, giving up some flexibility and control with
subdirectories. The prompt that asks if you want to create ACLs for the
subdirectories doesn't appear to do anything here, since "(drive)" is the
only listed ACL regardless of which choice you make.
If you share DRIVE:\, a static list of ACLs will be generated, and you will
have to force new directories to be recognized. Here, the prompt about
creating ACLs for subdirectories determines whether existing subdirectories
are included with the share.

It should be plenty. I currently run a 486Dx2-66 with 16MB RAM, Warp V3
Connect with full LAN support, and have run 4 lines of Binkley/Squish/Maximus
on this system. It could do with a bit more RAM (24MB would be plenty) but it
sure runs fine as far as I can see. The main point here is that it is all
OS/2 code, if you need to run any DOS code, then you will probably need all
of your memory.
I hope that helps.........pk.

With plenty to spare.  I notice very little slowdown on a Warp 4
machine using a DX33 with 16 meg when I added networking -and that's
slow enough as it is without networking.  And I am rarely aware if the
other 3 machines are actively using the disks on this machine, etc.  I
even had it running InJoy and handling all the Inet calls for the whole
setup for a while.  I'd say that the DX4-133 and 28 meg are ample.
Only thing that dings my setups - regardless of processor speed and RAM
is printer activity.  That will take some tuning.

assistant: At this point, I'm having an impossible time creating a share that doesn't
automatically include new subdirectories. I'm creating them your way,
allowing the ACLs to be propagated to the subdirectories (which under Warp
Server would cause new directories to not be available unless refreshed). I'm
also creating them with NET SHARE share=drive:\ and also by right-clicking a
drive, going into properties and clicking on the share tab. Same results.
Maybe I had assumed that the sharing behavior would match Warp Server's and
avoided a problem that didn't actually exist.
When you replace a CD, you have a whole set of new directories without ACLs,
hence no access. Traditionally, this has been a problem, but again I can't
duplicate it. However, it's notable that when you click on Help in the Select
a Resource to Share screen that there is a distinction made between sharing a
whole drive (D:) and the root directory of a drive (D:\), and that sharing a
CD requires the whole drive to be shared. I would expect the distinction to
mean that if you share the drive, then subdirectories can't have different
access attributes. Possibly this is the answer to your question.
The only prompt I'm getting is about the subdirectories. Create ACL I believe
was an extra prompt found on Warp Server. I apologize for any confusion I may
have introduced, but I do a lot more Warp Server administration than peer
administration.

assistant: I've been playing with the two, and can't force any observable difference in
initial access to new directories. What I can't remember is how Warp handles
the equivalent of Netware's inherited rights mask. That is, if you have
particular rights to a directory, is there some control over what gets
inherited when creating a subdirectory, or do you start with no new rights,
or do you start with the same rights you have in the parent, or do you start
with full rights? I could swear Warp Server is more stringent than Warp Peer.
