Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All ...
I'm just wondering about the validity and workability of the following setup
...
4 computers, all with TCP/IP 3.0 installed and ethernet cards ...
Computer 1 as a file/print server
Computer 2 has a T1/ISDN/dedicated dialup (whichever I can afford) to an ISP
Computer 3 has dialup modems for my BBS
Computer 4 is a "work" machine
Computers are connected via TCP/IP through the ethernet cards probably like
this:
Computer 4 -------- Computer 1 --------- Computer 3 ---- outside lines -
                        |
                        |
                    Computer 2
                        |
                        |
                     Internet
What I'm wondering is, with that type of setup, can Computer 4 send/receive
e-mail, ftp from ftp sites, and surf the WWW?
Would it be better to just install IBM Peer/2, with TCP/IP on just Computer
Would it be better to have Computer 2 as the file/print server, and have
Computer 4 and Computer 3 connect to Computer 2?
Just trying to get some idea of how I'd go about setting this up if I ever
decided to. ;)

Christian,
I believe that both Win95 and OS/2 will require a Domain name that is
the same between all systems.  In both Win95 and OS/2 setup you are
prompted for a name and I believe 95 defaults to "workgroup" and OS/2
defaults to ibmpeers.  These must be the same I think...
Hope this helps!

Write your reply.

assistant: Montevideo, September 16, 1997
Hi there!
         I've recently installed Netware Client for OS/2 2.12. I've made this
because it explicitly said that it could handle NDS connections under Global
and *Private* DOS sessions (2.11 version only did this with VDM's running
MS-DOS or simmilar.)
         After configuring a DOS private network session, I tried to access
NDS without success. NETX didn't support it. Then I tried loading LSL & VLM's
in that session; they loaded perfectly, except for a little detail: DOS
driver didn't want to load over OS/2 driver (It sounds quite natural) :)
         The question is: Which is the RIGHT way to make it work? I want to
have 2 DOS sessions with private network resources and NDS access.
         Thank you very much for your help and support.
Regards...

Write your reply.

assistant: You can do this two ways.
Firstly, the easy way:  If you have enough IP addresses, you assign one IP
address to your SLIP/PPP/whatever connection, and one IP address each to the
LAN cards on each of your PCs.  You then merely need to tell the PC with the
LAN card and SLIP/PPP/whatever connection to perform IP routing.  I believe
that there is a checkbox for this on one of the TCP/IP configuration notebook
pages.
Secondly, the harder way:  If you don't have enough IP addresses, or your ISP
uses dynamic IP assignment, you need to set up an internal TCP/IP LAN between
your PCs, using (preferably reserved) internal IP addresses, and then
configure the PC with the SLIP/PPP connection to use IP masquerading using a
utility such as InJoy in order to hide the IP addresses of the other PC from
the outside world.

Write your reply.

assistant: I wouldn't fall into the trap of thinking that RockRidge is "modern" and that
everything else is not, if I were you.  The unfortunate truth of the matter
is that there are no less than four different extensions to ISO 9660 for long
filenames on CD-ROMs, of which RockRidge is favoured by UNIX and linux users,
and others (Joliet &c.) by everyone else.
The "new" CDIFS.IFS that is available on the Device Driver Pack On-Line site
(the URL for which is in your Connections folder) supports the Joliet
extensions to ISO 9660.

Write your reply.

assistant: /V specifies the verification mode, and can be NONE, LOCAL, or DOMAIN.  See
the OS/2 Warp Command Reference for details, but briefly NONE means no
verification, LOCAL means that your username and password are verified
against your local user database (so you must exist as a local user), and
DOMAIN means that they are verified against your domain controller's user
database.
The difference between /V:Local and /V:Domain is the difference between "File
and Print Client Logon" and "LAN Server Logon".
Incidentally, as long as the local username and password are the same as your
LAN username and password, you can create yourself as a local user, log on
with local verification, and OS/2 will automatically handle presenting your
credentials to the appropriate servers automatically whenever you make a
connection.

assistant: Howdy all!
I'm attempting to network my OS/2 Warp v4 machine and Win95 machine, but have
yet to succeed.  I figure perhaps someone in here can offer a suggestion.
Here's as far as I've made it.  In Win95 under Network Neighborhood, the OS/2
machine (Machine1) shows up.  If I double-click on it I get the message:
"\\Machine1 not accessable.  The computer or sharename could not be found.
Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again."
Then with OS/2, I pull up the Shared Resources & Network Connections config
program and go to the Connections page to attempt to Create a Connection to
the Win95 machine (Machine2).  In the Server spot, Machine2 never shows up,
and if I type it in and try to connect that way I get the response: "SYS0053:
The network path was not found."
I figure I have some kind of connection between the two since the Win95
machine can at least see the OS/2 machine.  Not sure, why then, that I can't
fully have them work.  Any suggestions?
CYA,
Christian
