assistant: Or... maybe less files?
I dunno... seems like it took awhile on my drives. I set my
drives up this way the first time then changed 'em later. I
had four drives at the time. C:FAT-527Mb, D:FAT-527Mb,
E:HPFS-2.7Gb, F:HPFS-570Mb. None of 'em were more than
maybe 60% full.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about
a *long* time.  Just longer than I might have expected.
But... I'm new to ACL's.  So I'm no judge.
I do know that you can apply "permissions" to a very large
NT NTFS drive and watch it work its way all the way down
the subdirectories in a matter of a few seconds.  I
expected the ACL list to be about the same.  But... then...
I don't really know exactly what an ACL list is anyway :-).

assistant: While riding a dragon bareback,

Is it better, then, to simply install TCP/IP on both computers, and leave out
the IBMPEER network?  Or should both be installed.  I would also like to do
work on my machine from mom's from time to time.
Ok, so do I need to set up both machines with a default IP address ... like
255.255.255.1 and 255.255.255.2, and just have each one routed to the dynamic
address I get when In-Joy would connect to my provider.
(As you can probably tell, I know absolutely nothing about networking outside
of what I've read here. <G>)
Hmm ... just checked and I can't find a LOGON command for the NET command. ;(

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Christian,
Have you succeeded in getting the 2 machines in question to network
together whilst both running win95, or both running os2?
If not, you might have an incorrect interrupt or DMA address set
on one of the machines.
Otherwise, if you are confident that the 2 computers can talk to each
other, check to make sure that the Domain Names/Workgroups are identical
on both machines. eg"IBMPEERS".
On the win95 machine, set NetBEUI as the default protocol.(NetBEUI
properties in the Network setup folder) Check that bindings has client for
Microsoft networks, and File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks
checked)
In "file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks" properties, try setting
browse master enabled and LM announce to Yes. (I'm not convinced about this
one but I've read in other news messages that it helps)
On the Os/2 machine use Netbios.
(If you want to use TCPIP, thats another ball game.
Worry about that after you get NetBEUI/Netbios going.)
Make sure you allowed file and printer resources to be shared.
Good Luck.
Regards Greg.......

First thanks to you an other people in this echo and the information
about running NetBeui or I wouldn't have even gotten this far!
I have Warp v3 connect and Windows 95b set to the same workgroup
with Netbeui...
I can use the Warp machine to do a net use and access the hard drive
on the windows 95 machine just fine...
I can do a net view \\warp  on the windows 95 computer
I can also do a net use m: \\warp\f
and the drive appears when I do a "net use" on the windows 95
computer
but when I do a dir on m: on the windows 95 computer all I get is
Volume in Drive M has no label
Directory of M:\
FILE NOT FOUND
       409,665,536 Bytes Free
The bytes free is correct.. It kinda works but mostly don't.
Everything works fine when I'm booted to Windows 95 on both machines
that *I think* rules out hardware..
Does anybody have any ideas... I've exhausted mine :-(

Write your reply.

assistant: I believe Intel only makes a 12 port and a 24 port hub. They are called
Intel Express 10/100 Stackable Hub. It is an autosense hub, one of the
few available that do not need a switch to allow mixing and matching of
10baseT and 100baseTX. It is about $1100 U.S. for the 12 port model.
Intel makes a EtherExpress Pro/100 adapter which is also autosense
10/100 rj-45 that claims OS/2 Warp compatibility for about $70 U.S. That
combo would offer the most flexibility if needs change or someone
decides to hook up a notebook or printer later. Besides the rule of hubs
states that you will eventually always need one more port than your
existing hub has available.
If you are sure that you do not need any 10baseT ports like maybe for a
printer or notebook then the cheapest route is probably Linksys who
makes a 4 port 100baseTX only hub for under $200 U.S.  Then there is
D-Link who makes a 8 port hub for $400 U.S.  but I think it only comes
in a rack mount case if that matters to you. Finally Netgear from Bay
Networks makes the FE104 4 port fast hub for under $200 U.S. and FE108 8
port fast hub for around $370 U.S. These are fairly new and both models
have an expansion port. I believe the mail order house CDW in Illinois
carries them. As far as I know all the products that I mentioned are
Netware compatible since they are unmanaged hubs.   I don't guess that
you are looking for things like SNMP management in such a small hub.

assistant: Montevideo, October 3, 1997
Hi all there!
        I've installed Netware Client 2.12 on OS/2 Warp 3.0, connected to a
Netware 4.1 server.
        I need to set up a DOS PRIVATE session with full NDS access (not
bindery emulation).
        I tried 2 get it step by step. First, the docs say that I could get
NDS access with a GLOBAL DOS session. But when I finished setting it, I only
got a bindery emulated session (with no NDS nor object properties (login
scripts, etc.)).
        The second step, was to set the private session. As it's recommended,
I created a 'specific DOS version' boot disk, with MSDOS 6.22 to use VLM'S. I
can load LSL, but IPXODI requires the DOS NIC driver to be installed (I can't
install such a driver, because OS/2 driver is already installed); as a
result, VLM's don't want to load with full support.
        The question is simple: How can I get a DOS session with PRIVATE
Netware Resources and NW 4.01 compatibility (NDS access) fully functional?
!!!
        I really will be very pleased If you give me some advise, because my
clients are quite angry with me :) Thank you very much
Regards,
                        Andr�s Cianciaruso

If he just uses Warp 3 and not Warp Connect and hasn't already bought some

Warp Connect or Warp 4 will do fine. If it was only for the Netware support
you could simply install the netware client for OS/2.

We'll return to Jim Trulock and Tony Langdon's
discussion of Possible Network
You need both TCP/IP and IBMPEER on your machine.  They perform quite
different functions.  TCP/IP is a transport which is required for
Internet access.  IBMPEER is a network client and server for sharing
files, printers and modems.  It can use TCP/IP or another protocol (e.g
NetBIOS/NetBEUI or IPX/SPX) to carry its data.  As for remotely
accessing your machine, you'll need remote control software such as
OS2You/PM2You or similar if you want to control the GUI.  For text mode
control, there are many options with varying levels of functionality.
These won't work.  I'd suggest 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, netmask of
255.255.255.0
I'm not sure of the correct way to interface your LAN with InJoy.  It's
a case of reading the docs (I have officially allocated IP addresses
here and at work, use a proxy server instead of IP masquerading).
You're right. :-(  I'm not sure of the OS/2 equivalent (been using too
much Windoze lately ;-) ).
... I used to be a terrible flirt, but I'm much better at it now.
