assistant: Ok so it does a voltage conversion from  5 to 3v and a pin conversion fro
Intel to AMD.
All good stuff. But you still can't put a dx4/100 into a board that doesn't
have 3*33mhz support.
Apart from that it sounds like OK kit. Where is CCT based ?\

I am currenly using LANtastic for OS/2 and would like to know if it is
possible to share modems across the LAN.  Does anyone know of a program

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Write your reply.

assistant: First, my knowledge of TCP/IP is preety weak, so....
I have WARP SERVER ADVANCED.  I am trying to setup a DHCP/DDNS service for
work.  The DHCP works fine, but the DDNS does not.  When I run DNSZONE (or
whatever it's called) it comes back and says no DYNAMIC setting were found.
The DDNS clients can get thier IP numbers from the DHCP server, but can't
find the DDNS server to update the name tables.  Has anyone gotten this to
work?
I also am interested in the answer to the previous question about using WARP
SERVER as a TCP/IP gateway/Router from our internal net to the outside world.
 Also, what is required (and where do you find it) to get WARP SERVER (or
plain WARP CONNECT) to act as a POP/SMTP server?  A Firewall?
Thanks for your help.  You can also reach me at cwolcott@pen.net or

user: You are replying to All about "lantastic and connect".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
Can lantastic coexist with the tcpip that comes with warp conect?
The reason I ask is as follows:
We were using warp for windows (without windows) with lantastic and the iak
from bonuspack with no problems. Later we wanted to use some windows
programs, and because we also had a warp connect with winos2 cdrom, we
installed that one.
Install went fine, and when network install appeared, we installed only
pip.
After that I modified config.sys to reactivate lantastic, that is I
reinserted the lines that lantastic had inserted, and removed all drivers
with identical names from the ibmcom directorytree.
Now everything seemed to work fine, except that the lantastic connection
drops at least 3 times a day with no clear reason.
This didn't happen when we used warp for windows.
Both versions were up to fp 17.

the LAN; including support for postscript documents on selected
non-postscript printers.

can't log into the OS/2 machine. Lancheck showed all of the machines being

Is there a gotcha using OS/2 and Lantastic for OS/2?
I haven't been able to get through to IBM for tech support FOR A WEEK! I get
error report that that number is being checked for problems.

Possibly the POP, as there is a POP.DLL in the UMAIL directory.  There was no
SMTP* files found, and I don't know what a gateway program would be called.
In CONNECT and WARP SERVER, you can setup FTP and TELENET servers, SNMP
clients and agents, but I don't think mail, firewalls nor gateways exist
there.  IBM suggested buying INTERNET CONNECTION SOFTWARE SERVER to
accomplish the above.

assistant: Pardon me for butting in, but...
I am also trying to get WARP CONNECT and/or WARP SERVER to gate lan TCP/IP on
to the INET and back.  I have the routing table setup for NET to my DNS and
DEFAULT to the PC with the dial up line.  I also added the ISP's DNS address
along with our net's DNS address in the name server list and enabled IP
FORWARDING.  On the dial-up machine, I can get to the net with the dialer,
but get 'NAME NOT FOUND' unless the lan DNS is up.  If the LAN DNS is up, all
works as it should.  On other TCP/IP machines, however, nothing seems to
work. Any ideas?
(Actually, as I was typing this, I decided maybe I need to define the ISP's
DNS on the LAN DNS...)

   If I understand you correctly, you're looking at taking a bunch of
   workstations, and routing them thru one machine out into the internet.
   Warp connect could do that easily... However, you run into the problem
   of the IP address's on your workstations... Most ISP's will not
   issue you IP address' for your LAN since they then have to update their
   routing tables, which starts the snowball rolling and before they know
   it, they've got routing problems and more headaches then they know what
   to do with...
   Solution: Run a proxy server on your OS/2 machine, whether it be
   Warp Server, Warp Connect, whatever...  I bought one from Sophisto who
   can be found on #os/2 on irc (efnet).  Works great... Let's my LAN access
   out into the internet thru my Warp Connect machine which is linked to the
   internet.

     My experience was a bit different from Terry's.  I got the El cheapo GVC

configure straight from the MPTS set up screen and it has been working fine
for over a year.

The problem is easily solved by simply binding multiple protocols at the
server.  That way, it doesn't matter what protocol is set as default in
OS/2's MPTS.  It will find the servers because they (the servers)
support all the protocols you plan on using.
There is a bit of overhead from adding in additional bound protocols on
the server but I've found that it's insignificant.

assistant: Hi Jeff:
What you need is IP Masquerading.  Basically, an application can map a
bunch of IP addresses into one address by doing some juggling at the
session level.  The end result is a bunch of nodes all look like the
same machine to the outside world.  The draw back is that it is
difficult to allow the outside world back in.
Lynix does this for free and has done so for some time.  The only OS/2
based product that I know of which does this is a beta version of the
IN-JOY dialer.  While it is called a dialer, it is a serious PPP/dialer
implementation (http://www.belle.dk/~bj/dialer.html).  Bjarne Jensen,
author of IN-JOY, is even talking about dial on demand, which would
allow you to make a connection only when someone requires one.  It
sounds like a full release of this dialer is quite imminent.
Best wishes,
Tom

(SNA) also.  Can I have all on one physical card, or do I need to bite the
bullet and add a second card (and line to the phone room....) to get this to
work?  Will loading NetBEUI over TCP/IP also allow normal NetBEUI traffic?
Also, at a computer show here a vendor of a NETBIOS DNS said even NetBIOS
over TCP/IP can not be routed because the router can't see into the TCP/IP
packet to get the destination address from the NetBIOS frame.  I thought that
was the whole idea of running NetBIOS thru TCP/IP?  Did I understand him
correctly?  Isn't the TCP/IP header built with the appropriate address
already in it?
