| Hi! Two Days ago I managed to get my PC working over TCP/IP and Netbios over TCP/IP. 1. IPX Therefore my question is: 2. NFS They only said that it can be installed during the installation of eCS(but I didn't find any setting allowing this!) or by copying it from another PC. Therefore my second question is: Thanks Toby PS: |

Sorry, don't know anything about IPX and NFS. But, the answer to this is yes. I do it the other way round (OS/2 runs InJoy, Windows machines connect through it), but, setting the gateway on the internal machines is what is needed.

| Briefly: To use IPX, you need to specify the frame type (see the options in MPTS). Usually, this will be 802.2, but it could be 802.3, Ethernet II, or Ethernet SNAP. If you do not bind the proper frame type to the interface, it simply will not work. Unlike other systems (namely, Windows), OS/2 does not have an "auto" frame type option. You'll need to find out what frame type is running on your network by asking the system administrator (Novell NetWare has defaulted to 802.2 since NetWare 4, though some networks continue to use - ill advised, I might add - 802.3 frames). Nothing needs to go into IBMLAN.INI to enable IPX. The protocol.ini entries which need to be addressed are listed clearly in MPTS: [odi2ndi_nif] DriverName = odi2ndi$ (Two cards in my wife's machine, from which I'm posting this; the NETADDRESS parameter is usually optional, but if you find that you have trouble binding the protocol, try setting this parameter.) NFS is probably already installed on your system. Look for a line in CONFIG.SYS similar to: IFS=C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 /I:C:\IBMLAN /N That's NFS (version 2; for version 3, you'll need to use SAMBA: check out the NetDrive SAMBA plugin). I don't recall offhand exactly where I installed NFS on these boxes now, as it goes back some time. Good luck! PS - Yes, you may certainly use Wintendo ICS by specifying the address as your default gateway (router). Be sure that your own IP address is on the same network, though. The Win box simply runs as a (rather poor) router. You'd be better off picking up a LinkSys BEFSR41 4-port broadband router for $40 or so, IMHO.

| Oops... Re: NFS - I meant to say, look for: IFS=C:\MPTN\bin\nfs300.ifs in CONFIG.SYS. Mea culpa. |

| Hi, LewisR Thanks for telling me how to configure IPX! But there are still Problems: 1.IPX As I mentioned above MPTS has an error if it wants to change the config.sys for the IPX Settings. You said that IPX wouldn't need commands inside ibmlan.ini, 2. NFS Therefore I would like to ask you if you could be so kind to zip the NFS files and post them here. Toby PS: Thanks! |

| Hi, LewisR I finished the installation of the IPX Protocoll, but NFS is still a problem! As I found out by searching the internet, the only file I would need to get NFS working is really the nfs300.ifs which is located in C:\MPTN\bin. I would really like to get NFS working, because I´ve got two linux computers which don´t have samba, but NFS configured and I don´t really like Netdrive, because I think that it is really much more easier to configure it by using the build in TCP/IP configuration tool!! Toby Thanks! |

Look at TCP/IP Implementation in an OS/2 Warp Environment Chapter 15 Remote File Systems or "sg244730.pdf" Redbook from IBM's site www.ibm.com/redbooks . Cheers |

| Hey ! Install fixpack UN02334.zip + WR08708.zip (from IBM or from ecomstation). nfs300.ifs is in the fixpack --- Best regards (in french : Tres cordialement or A+) eCSRD |
