    It can work.  My suggestion is not to use it though.  I've made a .CMD
file that calls PPP.EXE itself to get my connected.  It might be a little
complicated for you, so you might want to check out InJoy.

Even though the server's been set to accept all forms of authentication,
logon from either DIOP, InJoy, or PPPDial fails. :-( Things were fine until
the server software was upgraded to the "latest and greatest" version, that
which will apparently be released with NT v5...

assistant: Hello Scott,
I'm in the same process as the one you are doing, and I have problems
too :-(
First, I was running (I say "was" because since then, I have downgraded)
Warp4, US version, fixpak 6, and I planned to install Java 1.14.
With the help of that conference and some of its users (thanks Will ;-) )
I have downloaded Netscape 2.02 (NETS202.exe dated 02/10/98), the
PLUGINPK.EXE file and the FIRUNPKG.ZIP files.
I run a two node BBS, using FD2.30mL now. In my startup folder, my two
nodes (node 1 on Com2 and node 2 on Com4) are fired up and the TCP/IP
startup is running too.
The installation has run pretty well, but I have noticed that after
a reboot, one of my node refuses to start. Sometimes it is node2,
sometimes node1, and sometimes both nodes start without a problem.
I 've tried to run Frontdoor with the /NOVDMTITLE but it has not cured
the problem.
Then I reformatted my E: drive (OS/2) and unzipped a back up I have
of my system at the fixpak 1 level.
I reinstalled Netscape, the plug-in, the install feature but I'm still
having the same problem.
At this very moment, both nodes work fine, but if I reboot, I know that
one won't run. I will have to reboot many times until both nodes run
again.
If someone has an idea, I would be more than happy to test it. As this
problem can come from Netscape and/or Frontdoor, I crosspost this
message in the FDECHO too.

Write your reply.

assistant: I've got a problem with FTP-PM. I maintain a few websites and FTP-PM
allows me to modify a complete directory at one time. The problem is
that suddenly I can no longer use FTP-PM on one local ISP, although I
can still use the command-line FTP client. I used to use FTP-PM on this
ISP all the time. All the other ISP's in the area are unaffected, it's
just this one ISP that's giving me a problem.
When I log into the ISP with a user's login ID and password I receive
the following error:
   FTP command failed.
   Possible causes: you may not have required authorization or
   a file specification may be incorrect.
Now remember, this is just this one ISP using FTP-PM. I can still get
onto this ISP's site using OS/2's command-line FTP client, and I can
still use FTP-PM on all the other ISP's that I frequent.
Tech support from the ISP has been limited so any insight into what FTP-
PM is doing when it logs in would be helpful.
TIA.

Advantis USA is going from "unlimited" (actually "unmetered") service for
US$19.95/month to 100hrs/month at US$19.95 with additional hours at US$2
each.  This was done to discourage users from "camping" on to a connection
for indefinitely long periods even when idle.  I believe rates are set
separately in each country, though, so this is just an American issue.  Since
most other countries already meter all telephone access, local and long
distance, they already have a pretty strong incentive not to remain on-line
any longer than necessary.

That all depends (don't you just LOVE straight forward answers? :-} ).
 What really happens is that those links you click on from the main
page are relative references so they will refer you to some path
relative to the directory from which you are viewing the HTML page.
Often, they have a path with them and you amy have to put them in a
duplicate of that path.  For example, the Mars lander site worked if
the main page was saved to x:\nnn\mmm with all the images stored in
x:nnn\mmm\images.  Look at the html page ( View -> Document source ) to
see what the links look like.

What are the freely available and stable tcp/ip revisions for Warp Connect?
Is there someplace that makes sense of the alphabet soup the IBM Software
Updates site presents (ie, WP08210 supercedes WP07162 which should be applied
to Warp Connect unless WP767843 has been applied, in which case WP76879 sould
be aplied after backing out and applying WP65678 from the Warp v4 Corrective
Service directory,  blah, blah, blah.)  After a couple sentences like that my

assistant: I have just recently switched ISP's and a funny thing has happened.
Sendmail will not send mail to anyone with the same domain name as

a rev=0 return message, like it can't find anywhere to send it.  The
message ends up in \MPTN\ETC\MQUEUE waiting for the next connection
time to try to resend it.
I think the problem arises from the fact that my domain name and the
pop server name are different--ie
          my e-mail address is jspringf@uswest.net, where the
          domain name is uswest.net
          the pop server address is pop.mpls.uswest.net, and is
          entered into the DOIP dialer, UMAIL.PRO,UMAILSRV.PRO,
          and jspringf.ACC that way.
Is there a special place to fix this like sendmail.uml or any other
file?
Also, where does the DOIP dialer store it's data--I forgot the name of
its INI file, and cannot find the information to verify it.

assistant: Hi All!
  I am having a problem with injoy.  I have just started using injoy,
and it seems to be a VERY nice app.  However, most applications do not
seem to be aware that it is running.  I.e. whenever I run Newsreader,
Netscape, etc, I get a message to the effect that "you are not connected
to you internet service provider" even though injoy is connected and
running!  With Netscape I can just select "Do not connect" from the error
msg box, and then everything proceeds normally, i.e. type a URL into the
entry field and netscape happily finds it.  I have tried several newreaders
(BNR, Newsreader/2, DNR) and they simply will not run.  None of them think
that we are connected to an ISP, yet everything is fine PPP wise.  Only
Netscape gets past the error.  ping and telnet work fine and do not report
ANY problems.  (I do have the proper news server configured in TCPIP (LAN)
setup, and DNR automatically goes to dejanews anyway.  Also I CAN ping
that newserver.)  ANy ideas on how I can configure injoy so thsis works?
I am on WARP 4.0 with FP6 (this did not work before FP6, anyway)
