Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Mike:
I have found that wr08210 is a piece of crap.  It breaks my DHCP
server and made the DDNS work strange.  Ultimately, I didn't need the
service, so I reinstalled without it.
Make sure that you have the zones defined as dynamic by placing the
keyword DYNAMIC after the zone definition in the named.bt file.  After
this, run ddnszone as outlined in the documentation.  I choose to set
up the reverse DNS zone as *.in-addr.arpa so that I could put any
address in it, even if it wasn't in my address space.
Remember, don't edit the named.dom and named.rev files once you have
the system running.  These files are loaded on application startup and
saved when the application closes.  Any comments you add to these files
to make them readable will be stripped out by the application.  This is
a good thing, if you have secondary servers which feed off of the
primary DDNS zones.  Don't forget, DDNS _has_ to be a primary zone, it
will not function any other way.  Also, if you read the documentation
on NSSIG and named, you will find that there are some not bad tracing
and dumping facilities that come with these products.

After installing WR08210, my TCPBEUI doesn't work and I receive an

need the fixpack so that I can use the nsupdate.exe application, but I
need TCPBEUI too, or the nsupdate.exe is useless to me.  My machine is
running WARP Connect with no service, WR08210, un00057 (not sure about
this number, but the latest TCP/IP v3.0 service).  I connect using PPP
and have no LAN card in my machine (uses PRNANDIS).

assistant: Hi All,
Is it possible to speed up the requester service startup / shutdown in OS/2
Warp Connect (user peer to peer networking)? I'm getting tired of waiting
when my pc starts up or when I select shutdown... The strange thing here is
on one machine (Intel Pentium 133), it takes at least 5 times longer than on
another machine (AMD 586DX4/133). On the Pentium it takes at least a minute
to start the requester service. This shouldn't be necessary on a fast
machine, should it?

Write your reply.

assistant: I've tried to find the desired info in the book and on-line help, but it
seems to elude me.  Perhaps someone here can help me.
I have a copy of WARP SERVER advanced.  The PC it is on has no printer,
CD-ROM, or modem.  The secretary's PC (Running WARP) has a printer, my PC
(Running Connect & MERLIN Beta) has the CD-ROM and modem.  Our primary server
is a Netware 4.1.  I setup the Netware gateway to access the Netware via the
WARP SERVER.  (I don't want to make them signon to Netware, Warp Server AND
the AS/400.)
PROBLEM:  I can't seem to get sub-directory rights to work.  Under Netware,
no one but ADMIN has any rights to the root directory of any drive.
Sub-directories have various security levels depending on the ORG unit
(Department) you sign in under.  IE:  N:\SHARED\xxx is a directory for the
departmental directories.  MIS has all rights to N:\SHARED\MIS, but none to
N:\SHARED\ENG, and so on.  Everyone has all rights to N:\SHARED\EVERYONE.
Everyone has read and execute rights to N:\WIN and all sub-directories under
that, etc.  Under WARP SERVER, it seems what-ever rights I set to the root of
a drive, all sub-directories have the same rights even after I define rights
on a sub-directory (After propagating the rights at the root level).  This
includes defineing a drive letter (E:\) for the N:\SHARED\EVERYONE directory.
I also can not seem to get my CD-ROM and Modem to work as a shared WARP
SERVER
resource.  I would prefer to have my users sign on to the server and have
rights to my PEER devices based on the ACL on the server.  I can define the
device, but the CD always says it is a DIRECTORY, I can not seem to get it to
let me set rights at the DRIVE level.  Also, it seems the users still have to
signon to my PEER machine to get access.  Whats up with this?

   There's a fellow who goes by "Sophisto" who writes a a Proxy Server for
   OS/2, called "Webflect".  I run it, and it works great... In fact,
   I just put it in my startup.cmd as "detach webflect.exe" and
   "detach reflect.exe", then I forget about them.  Webflect does just
   WWW, and reflect does IRC and Email.  I paid $35 for it.
   I don't remember Sophisto's address off-hand, but he can almost always be
   found on EFNET IRC channel #os/2.
   With this proxy server running, when I connect to the internet via my
   PPP account, My wife is then able to use her Win '95 machine, with
   netscape, and browse the web, thru my OS/2 machine...  Works awesome!

Write your reply.

assistant: I've got a question, that I don't currently have software/hardware to
actually test.
First,  I'm contemplating setting up Multiple domains on a single OS/2
box, let's say abc.com and xyz.com.
From my understanding of IP addresses and the DNS, this in and of itself
shouldn't be a problem.  Simply have the same IP address for both
domains in my DNS server and have my DNS server listed w/ Internic for
both domain names.  (Corrections to this presumption happily accepted).
However, if I want to have two http servers running on the same machine,
I'm unsure if it's even possible.  For example, I'd like to have both
www.abc.com and www.xyz.com on one pc, with only one (?) ip address for
that machine.
I'd prefer to NOT have to resort to such "home pages" as
www.ghi.com/~abc.html  or www.ghi.com/~xyz.html.
Anyone have any actual experience doing something similiar?  I currently
have Warp Connect.  This is capable of at least being one web server,
correct?
And finally, all of the above and how it would apply to ftpd and such.
Thanks!

assistant: Thus spake the keyboard of Mike Bilow:
Mike, with due respect, I think you're a bit inaccurate on that one. The
bootup and shutdown times can be sped up significantly by editing (or adding)
the following lines in \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL.INI [NETBEUI_NIF] section:
NETBIOSRETRIES=2
NETBIOSTIMEOUT=500
These values can also be edited via MPTS utils. Defaults are, I believe,
2000ms timeout with 3 retries for a minimum of six seconds for NETBIOS name
registration. The above cuts it down to one second, and should be fine for
most small, reliable networks.

When I try to connect to an http server, normally I not sending to it the
complete URL... only the directory. The server is implicit in the IP address
that I'm connecting... and then I have no way to determine for what domain is
the connection.
Apparently, exist a way to do this, but only for some browsers (that send in
the connection the server that it waits, I bet at least Netscape and MSIE),
and if you are using the Apache 1.1.1 ported for OS/2, that is the only one
that I know that support this for OS/2 (or any other plataform). I don't have
any experience with this... only read the README file or some doc similar.
This is very more difficult.
Think on this as someone are knocking your door, who will open the door? In
http, some browsers shout that they want to talk with someone in special, but
in ftp and such is very more difficult.
A better way to do this is to have 2 IP addresses, this will works with a lot
of servers and all browsers, and you will have only one copy of the server
loaded (both Internet Connection Server and Apache support multihomed
domains, at least). In the case of ftpd and such, could be also difficult,
but perhaps could be done.... At least Inet.Mail (a SMTP and POP3 daemon from
Neologic that is actually in beta) perhaps will support multihomed mail.

Hmm, right. That would explain why this machine takes longer to start the

isn't any network activity when this machine is starting (while there are

Aren't there any settings I could change so the requester wouldn't look for

But it shouldn't make a Pentium look like an XT when starting up...:(

 I still have to get back to you re that Token ring card
 co-existence that you replied to me. Alas, time time has
 prevented me from pursuing this issue any further, for the
 moment anyway.
 Some cards do, some don't. No matter what I did, what driver I
 selected, it just refused to talk.
 I swapped it with another, from a different vendor, and the
 replacement works fine.
 It seems the autodetect on the NIC card somehow doesn't
 translate into the MPTS, or whatever. Can't explain why not -
 it was cheaper to swap it out, and saved a few headaches too :-)
