Hi there!:
          I've a little trouble with a computer running OS/2 Warp 3 with
fixpack 17 attached to a Tw.Pair Ethernet lan.
          It's installed in dual boot mode, over an original DOS 6.22 Fat
partition. The computer connects perfectly with the Netware 4.01 server in
DOS 6.22.
          I've installed the Netware Client 2.11 for OS/2 and selected the
standard NE2000.SYS driver. The card is a NE2000 compatible, with EPROM,
software-programmable. It has been tested (in DOS) in the following
configurations: (io 300, IRQ3, 9, 11) and worked fine in all cases.
          But the OS/2 driver couldn't detect the card very well: after
reading the configuration (even if you specify it or not in NET.CFG) it
reports the card as being in IRQ3 (the default value).
          After opening the desktop, os/2 reports the REQ0815 error wich is
fully documented in www.novell.com. I've tried all the solutions mentioned
there without success.
          It seems that the driver isn't compatible with the cards (I've
tested 2 or 3 different manufactures).
          Does anybody know anything about those soft-config. cards? And what
about an alternative driver? None of the cards bring any proprietary driver.
          I'll really apreciate very much any info about this.
Thank you very much:
                                        Andr�s Cianciaruso.

assistant: Hi John,
Sure is. Both Warp 3 Connect and Warp 4 can do this straight out of the box.
I use such a configuration almost on a daily basis, either between 2 machines
on the same LAN segment, or between 2 machines connected via routers and
using NETBIOS over TCP/IP.
Keep the NETBIOS config in MPTS, add TCP/IP and NETBIOS over TCP/IP (this
protocol needs to be on the NEXT available level no. of the MPTS config,
because you can't have 2 NETBIOS entries at the same protocol level) and you
have the basics ready to roll. The next most difficult part is setting up the
NETBIOS mappings for each of the machine, but once done, it works a treat
(provided the IP link has enough bandwidth available)...........pk.

We'll return to Alec Herrmann and Doug Vogt's
discussion of Connecting Thin Ethernet
It can be done (we have a whole building wired with coax and wallplates
at work).  You have to have _two_ coax points on each wall plate.
Between these is a loop of coax with a T piece to connect to the PC.
Unused wall plates need to be jumpered with a small loop of coax to
maintain the connection through the line.  It doesn't look pretty
(unless you can hide the loops behind furniture), but it does work. :-)
I tend to agree.  Also makes it easier to isolate problems if the local
rodent population decides to add network cabling to its diet, or the
kids play network techies. :-)  Even with our "coax backbone", we still
use TP hubs for the rooms.  Much simpler that way. :-)

If both are running Peer, this should work, though I never managed to
make modem sharing work between 3 Warp 3 Connect machines running Peer.
If the machines are on different subnets, make sure you have NetBIOS
over TCP/IP setup.

Same here. :-)  Details on various web sites. :-)
Hmm, no problems here.  WHat is your setup?
I've got very familiar with both Warp and NT, and find them eaqually
pleasurable to use.  Then again, I tend to like playing with any OS I
can get my hands on, and I have to be able to at work anyway (though we
don;t have OS/2 under normal conditions - none of our clients request
it).
NT Server is slow, though it seems to be very hardware and load
dependent.  I have never used Warp Server, but Warp Connect is _much_
faster than NT4 Workstation on the same hardware (or at least it seems
to be ;) ).

That's probably the best choice for a 2 station LAN under most
circumstances.
The program may not be correctly configured to run off a different drive
to the one it was originally installed from.
That one I'm not sure of.  I couldn't get COM port sharing to work
either (under Warp 3 Connect).  No errors in my case, it simply did
nothing...
