assistant: I don't have a real LAN adapter here at home, this being my only
computer. I've made no changes since last installing Warp 4 and never
checked the ETC settings previously. I just did, and I find that OS/2's
ETC is \mptn\etc while DOS's is \tcpip\dos\etc. All my internet stuff is
native OS/2, so I guess the DOS setting really doesn't matter to me.

assistant: Charles Bowman wrote in a message to David Calafrancesco:
It should... depends on whether you are using the Warp4 DOIP or the Warp3
version. The WarpConnect and later TCPIP used RESOLV2 and all previous
versions used RESOLV. I think someone was tremendously daft for that decision
but until I get appointed supreme emporor of the multiverse there is not much
I can do about it.
Basic rule for checking IP problems, first see if you can ping a name, try
your own, then see if you can ping your ISPs router or name server using the
dotted 4 IP address. If that fails, then your routes are messed up. If names
fail but IPs work, then your resolv(2)/hosts files are messed up.

No, you are using a TCPIP from before Warp Connect (ie the IAK). IAK and
older used RESOLV and Connect and later (ie TCPIPv3) uses RESOLV2.
Also, don't forget that your ETC directory is differnt under Warp3 than it is
under WarpConnect/4. You use \tcpip\etc while we use \mptn\etc. I have found
the safest way to work in that directory is to use a CD %ETC% to allow the
system to fill in the directory from the ETC environment variable.

I invite you to try it out and make an evaluation for yourself.  As
with most add-ons they are just things to make life a little easier.
The biggest advantage (but not the only feature) is the ease it allows
you to automate dialup functions.  Yes, DOIP can do it too but if you
aren't big into writing or modifying REXX scripts things like In-Joy and
iLink/2 are a blessing.
As with most everything else, the choice is left up to you.  I like
it, I use it but I'm certainly not concerned about what you use on your
computer. <g>

assistant: On (02 Jan 98) Leslie Satenstein wrote to Charles Bowman...
Hi Leslie,
I don't know if what I will say will convince you to change, but there
are a few things that InJoy can do that DOIP flat out can't.
One of these is Dial On Demand.  That means that I can run something
like the RC5 or DES encryption challenges, and as they finish with the
set of blocks, automatically dial up the Internet, exchange finished
blocks for new ones, and then proceed on, all without manual
intervention from me.  By the same token, I can just start up Post Road
Mailer or Netscape, and when the program sends out the connect request,
it will dial automatically.  This can also be used over a network from
what the documentation says.  This means that one modem could be shared
by a network.
Another is IP masquerading.  This goes along with Dial On Demand to
enable sharing InJoy with a LAN.  Someone who has a LAN will have to
tell you how well this works.
Other nice features are automatic redial as well as the ability to have
multiple phone numbers if an ISP is so set up.
Some of these features are not availble at the basic registration level
(Dial on Demand, for instance), but at the intermediate level.
For the best information, you should download the program and read the
documentation.  It will explain the capabilities far better than I can.
TTYL,
Stephen

I'd say not, there must be some other variable involved.  I've used
In-Joy on Warp 3.0 w/&w/out Windows and with various fixpacks, and
again with Warp 4.0.  Probably over a dozen installations in all, and
most virgin installs.  This was the first time that it failed to find,
create, assimilate a resolv or resolv2 file.  This last exercise in
futility drove me to over 6 clean installations in the period of a few
days.  It's a real puzzle to me but it shouldn't catch me off guard
again now that I know what to look for.
