assistant: Hello Brooks,
Replying to a message of Brooks Pace to Alec Herrmann:
Thanks for the compliment; however I am sure there are others here who know
more than I do - we all have our specialties.
Warp by itself has no networking facilities.  Warp Connect has all you will
need.
Set up Warp Connect with a domain name and workstation name and user name.
To start with, try to keep all of the above names in the range of 4 to 8
characters and do not start with numbers.  Avoid dashes and other special
symbols for now.  Define a user name (and password if desired) with all
administrative privileges (as is required for the installation).
Set up Windows for Workgroups similiarly, and use the domain name used above
on the Warp Connect machine for the workgroup name.  Set up a different
workstation name.  Set up the same name (and password if used) as used for
the administrative name on the Warp Connect machine.
This should get you started.
When you get to this stage, you will know what I am talking about: be aware
that not all resources on one machine will immediately be visible through a
'browsing' window on the other machine.  If this happens, try typing the
whole computer name / resource name in the form of \\SERVERNAME\RESOURCENAME
when asked to input a shared resource name.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
Is there any way to get Lantastic 7.0 to work with WARP 3.0 (blue spine)?  I
am currently running my bbs on a old 386/33 with 8 megs of memory under DOS
6.2.  The system is operating on Lantastic 6.0 to share hard drives and is
connected to a third system running WIN95 w/Lantastic 7.0.  I use the FTP
from the WIN95 machine to bring in the mail and files and send them over the
LAN to the bbs machine.  My goal is to use my OS/2 on the bbs machine to do
all the work. :-)  Unfortunately, when I bought OS/2 I got the wrong version.
 I do not have the money needed to upgrade the hardware and also get WARP 4.
Gotta make what I have work.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
           Warren

assistant: Hello Frank,
Replying to a message of Frank Sexton to Alec Herrmann:
If you use hubs with 10Base2, all connections between the all hubs via
10Base2 will go down if any part of the 10Base2 cable segment is broken.  The
10BaseT connections on each hub will continue to work.  Thus computers on a
single hub can talk to each other but will not be able to talk to computers
on another hub.

assistant: Hello James,
In a message on <Oct 08 17:14>, you wrote:
All responses recommend you to add some 4-24 MB RAM to your system, what is
the best, easiest and most effective way to go.
On the other hand you may try to to optimize your setup. I run here my 2
lines BBS with Warp Connect on a 386sx,8MB system, it's not fast, but it
works. You may only gain a few seconds in responsiveness, but you should try
to reduce the commited size of RAM and improve the swapping:
First, I have put my Swapper-file on a fat partition and let it start with a
reasonable size (config.sys SWAPPATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM 2048 8192). Reducing
Maxwait (MAXWAIT=2) will not speed the system up, but it may respond quicker.
Then check to have Lazywrite on your filesystem enabled, this may be
dangerous, if you run unstable applications. I finally decided on my system
to remove HPFS to gain some other 128kb (driver and buffers) and completely
stay on FAT.
Other more basic methods are to stop running any 'unnecessary' or 'non vital'
programms like clocks, WinApps etc. as they may eat lot of memory or worse
must be swapped permanently. They same is true for background images and high
resolution videos, stay with VGA, if you don't really need 16M colors. If you
don't access a network ressource (drive, printer), then don't share it. If
you must run WinApps, try to run them in a fullscreen session.
