Replying to a message of Scott Livingston to All:
Reinstall OS/2 Warp and say 'yes' (or check the box) when asked to
reinitialize the NET.ACC accounts database.
After reinstalling, save a copy of the NET.ACC file using the BACKACC
program.  If you lose the password again, restore the saved NET.ACC with the
RESTACC program.

Write your reply.

assistant: That is what I'm trying to do.  The server has drives C thru K.  The
client has drives C & D plus the 4x4.  I want to use drive letters E
thru J of the server as E thru J on the client so all batch files remain
the same and node data files ( for the BBS ) remain the same.  If I map
the 4x4 ( on the client - really a peer network ) as drives K,L,M & N by
using RESERVEDRIVELETTER, I can not share them with the server.  If I
let them map as E,F,G & H I can share them with the server, but now my
driver lettering starts at "I" which is not what I need.  Any ideas?
By the way, you do not have to specify "each" driver letter in the
sequence above to reserve G thru N.  RESERVEDRIVELETTER=N will do the
same job.  It will reserve all available drive letters up to and
including N after the hard drives ( and before other drives like the
CD-ROM, ZIP, etc ).

assistant: Hello Richie,
Replying to a message of Richie Molinelli to Alec Herrmann:
Yes.  Put in RESERVEDRIVELETTER=O like you did/said earlier.  Your NEC 4x4
will now show up as P,Q,R,S.  The 'Start Sharing' option is not showing up as
expected on the pop-menu for each CDROM icon in the drives folder.  Now put
the following in your startup.cmd file (where userid/password is a local
administrator) or run them manually:
logon userid /p:password
net share nec-p=p:\
net share nec-q=q:\
net share nec-r=r:\
net share nec-s=s:\
(modify the names nec-? as desired; if you are already logged on as an
administrator, no need to do it again)
Now you may find that the 'Start Sharing' and other network options show up
on the CDROM icon pop-up menus.  Incidentally on my machine, the 'Start
Sharing' remained even after I deleted the share for the CDROM drive.
Whether this remains after a reboot, I do not know yet, and I do not know why
this happens - it may be a bug.  However I was skeptical of your statement
that you could not share the relocated CDROM drive so I tried it myself and
this is what I came up with.
Thanks for this tip - I did not realize it worked that way, and it does not
state such in the online docs.

user: You are replying to All about "Locked files".

Write your reply.

assistant: I recently installed Warp 4 on a workstation using OS/2 Warp Remote
Install.  The remote workstation part of the installation failed at the
first attempt and I closed down the Remote Install on the local
(source) machine until I had sorted out the problem.  Having resolved
the problem I re-ran Remote Install and it completed successfully on
the target machine.  However if I now try to start MPTS on the local (
source ) machine the oracle speaks thus:
'You have re-installed MPTS.  Locked files will not allow you to start
MPTS.  You must exit MPTS, shutdown, and restart your workstation
before you can start MPTS'
Needless to say on closing down, rebooting and restarting the
situation is not resolved.  I cannot be sure that this remote
installation was the cause of the problem as I have not tried to access
MPTS for a long time.  MPTS on the newly installed remote machine is
fine. Can anyone offer any suggestions please?
The machine which is having the problems is running Warp 4 with FP1
applied.
Best wishes
Barry Samuels

assistant: Still having problems with the file and print client stuff... <sigh>
I deleted all of the connections and all of the shares from both machines and
set a few of them back up to see if things would work.  I don't get login
failures anymore, which is good, but nothing will still work.
On one machine, when I try to create a connection, I get a:
SYS0053: The network path was not found.
On the other machine, when trying to also create a connection, I get:
SYS0059: An unexpected network error occurred.
Network messaging, when doing a broadcast over the peer, only appears on the
local machine.
The network connection is good... when I ping the other machine, all is ok,
so the TCP/IP network is good.
Can anyone give me some direction on this?  This is getting *very*
frustrating and I've already reinstalled MPTS three times now.... =(  Is F&P
always this finicky and unstable?

Vincent, you mention TCP/IP - what other protocols do you have defined
for the NIC?  You will need (preferably) NETBIOS or (more complicated)
NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP.
Assume you can logon - the simplest is a command line "logon <name>
/p:<password> /v:local" logs you on to your workstation.  Next, enter
"net view" to see which machines and what resources are defined, as far
as your workstation can tell.  Do the same from the other machine(s).
They should ALL give the same list.  Couple of potential problems:
incorrect domain names (they should all be the same), user ID's not
properly defined on all stations, protocols not matched on the
machines.
Once you get "net view" to work, things should straighten out
The only problem I've ever had with Warp 4 was the 'disappearing
folder' trick prior to FP1.  No matter what Netscape and/or other apps
does to the WPS, the net keeps chugging on - I have to make sure and
check with the wife and kids before booting since they can't tell any
difference when things freeze here and gripe like mad if I cut them off
the Inet.  That's reasonably stable <g>.

   I'm running a Novell IntraNetware network with several OS/2 clients.
   I have a network volume set up with a 4 GB partition.  In it I have a
directory with a space restriction of 200 MB.   The OS/2 clients are not
honoring the space restriction in this directory when using OS/2
applications.   They show the full 4 GB as being available.  Strangely,
a DOS shell under OS/2 will recognize the restriction.
   I am using Warp 4 no FixPaks, and Netware Client for OS/2 v2.12 with
the OS2PT1 patch.
   Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?

assistant: I have been working for some MONTHS to hook my varied machines together and

with OS2 WARP 4, three 486-33 machines with WFW3.11 and two 286 machines with
MS Workgroups for DOS.  I have finally gotten the machines to all talk
together and work really well.  One of the hardest things to do is to get the
286 things setup so that there is enough memory left for anything to run.
Caldera has a DOS known as OPEN DOS that actually has a 286 memory manager
and this has helped a lot.  No one else gives a damn if 286 computers ever
work again but they do!  Honestly, sometimes the 286 guys are all that
consistently work!  Anyway, if anyone else out there in ciberland has any
interest in doing this I will write you a book.  You won't get any help on
this from IBM or MS.
