mentioned that I was having a problem with having to use a password that
I didn't have to use before a crash and reinstall.... I get a message
telling me that I am a low-life that is required to use a password and
can't go without one.. I Know there was a file or something that I
should be able to delete so I can restart my userid without having to

   At the server, Netware uses IRQ15 for handling of lost
interrupts.  AFAIK, you should never use IRQ15 for anything else, if
you use Netware.  Don't know for sure about the client machine,
though I always avoid IRQ15 there too.
   FWIW, I always set my NICs for IRQ5 or if already using LPT2,
then IRQ10 and in both cases, port 320.

assistant: Hi,
I am running Warp Connect 3.0 on a P-166 (Award BIOS) based system that is
stable except for the following problem.
The network card is a NE2000 clone.
MAC is NE2000.OS2 03-25-95      port=280 irq=15 (the secondary IDE controller
                                                 on the motherboard is

Installed Products:
        TCP/IP
        IBM Peer Support
        Netware Support
I can login and access all netware (3.11) drives from the OS/2 command
rompt,
but when I attempt to set the default drive to a netware drive from the OS/2
DOS prompt, the machine locks up.  I can leave the default drive as c: and
list the directory of all the netware mappings, but setting the default there
causes the system to hang.  I have not tested the system with GLOBAL Netware
session.
Does anyone have information about a system with this malfunction?

  Every NIC has a MAC address, which is unique throughout the world, so yeah,
  it's quite possible that even though you think you're creating exact
  cicumstance, in fact, you are not... Netbeui, for packet transmission
  uses, machinename:MACaddress for it's address'ing, TCPIP just uses the
  IP address and is not at all related to the MAC address, SO, if you did
  just TCP/IP, you'd have no problem...  However, if I were you, just install
  the dos/win client for your son's pull-out, OS/2 is smart enough to detect
  when a machine is on the lan, and when one is not... So when you shut down
  swap disks, and reboot, it'll know that, and allow access accordingly...
  BTW: You did make a log-in account for your son right? In UPM? If not, that
  could be your problem right there..

assistant: Hello All!
Kinda new to the networking deal so bear with me,,,  I've got two machines I
want to hook up as peer to peer, one is a CTXp75 the other is a AMD100, so
these are the names I chose for the machines. CTX1 & AMD100, I installed a
Artisoft NR 2000/C card in each machine and configured the IRQ's and IO
address. Conected the cable put the terminator resistors on the ends and re
booted. No problems on startup. Then I went in to sharing and connecting on
both machines and defined the devices I wanted to share across the network.
Then rebboted agian. Now the Network folder on CTX1 comes up with
OS/2 peer and a folder that says "Lanserver & Os/2 Peer Resources" . When I
open up this folder I see a icon for the AMD100 and the CTX1. when i click
on the icon for the ctx the avialable drives i listed to share come up fine.
But when I click on the AMD100 it takes about 45 seconds and comes back with
nothing. I went to "sharing and conecting" under os/2 peer and tried to
reate
the connection ,but after the chosing AMD100 from the list nothing is
available
in the Share/alias box.
When I try to access the CTX from the AMD100 side of the network , nothing
ever
shows up that says CTX. I'm using the same domain name on both machines ,
same name and password on both, and the network cards are brand new.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
Thanks in Advance.

Write your reply.

assistant: I recently signed onto this conference. I am very limited in my
knowledge of networking. As such I am wanting to set up peer to peer
with my wife's computer (not yet moved). I have a friend that can get
older networking cards (from upgrades) for  free, and I have seen that
many cards are relativly inexpensive, so I thought that I would put in a
network card to do the trick.
I was wondering if the Notes client that came with Warp Connect would
serve as a tool for us to use also for messages.
I currently have Warp connect on both systems, plan on upgrading to
Warp4 in a month or so. I have paged through some of the networking
folders, and it  looks like it is probably pretty easy, but I would like
a basic overview of what I need to do from you folks that are highly
experienced.

assistant: Hello Andrew,
Replying to a message of Andrew Grillet to All:
...
Make sure you are using the same domain name on all machines.  Make sure you
are using different workstation names on all machines.  You can use the same
userid and password (if used) on all machines and is recommended to simplify
the initial setup; use userids that have admin privileges.
You can install Warp from the same disks/CD on multiple machines.  There is
no 'hardware' protection against doing such, however, you should have the
required number of licenses to satisfy IBM's legal requirements.
Are you logging on under DLS as a workstation logon with local validation, or
with domain validation?  If you are running a peer setup (which is the case
with multiple Warp Connect machines), you have to use local validation.
Domain validation only works with a Lan Server / Warp Server machine present
on the network.
Try logging on the DLS machine (under local validation) with the username
'USERID' and the password 'PASSWORD', and then define an userid/password on
the DLS machine with admin privileges that matches the userid/password that
was set up on the Warp Connect machines.  Logon with that name on the DLS
machine, and now you should be able to access the Warp Connect machines.
