Hello Toby!

Maybe you have solved your problems by now, regarding your network but anyway:
In my home network I have two XP-machines and two win2000-machines + my eCS1.2MR maschine. One of the w2k computers acts as printer server.

I can access every machine from each of them, including my eCS. I have no 9-character problem.

I'm really not shure but I suspect that the networking parts have been updated in the eCS1.2media refresh(maybe you could ask Serenity bout that). Though I didn't have my network when I used eCS 1.1,so I haven't thouroughly tested it out, but I tried it in the university network, where I'm studying, and never suceeded.

Hi!

Genprism only works with pcmcia devices - I thought your Dell had an onboard mini-PCI wireless card?

Yes, it has in deed. But I have now buyed a pcmcia wlan card for my laptop: the NetGear MA-401. This is supported by the genprism driver. The mini-PCI wireless card is not supported by any driver yet, also not by the genmac driver.

Yes I solved it, it was a problem with HPFS386:

Last month I got an OS/2 warp server box from eBay and I already managed to install the HPFS386 package on my eCS 1.1 system. It seemed to work fine, but my problem is now that if I access an eCS share from my windows computer that I don´t have the permission to read or to modify files any more. I even can´t see the files inside my Windows shares any more.(...)

Therefore my question is:
Would it be possible that this could be caused by the hpfs386 security features mentioned by Kim and if so, how can I remove this limitation?


Toby (05 Nov, 2005 09:45):
I´ve got it working. There were such small things wrong. But as it sometimes is it can cause big problems.

1. Inside the Hpfs386.ini was no IBMLAN folder specified.
2. The ACL of Drive C: was set to no access.

I always tried to get the permission of the folder C:\ÖffentlOrd right. As I did it in Windows, but I then did not checked the permission of drive c:!


but I've now got this problem:

It discribes an error in AFINETK.SYS (Exception)

(...)It showed an exception in the file C:\mptn\protocol\AFINETK.SYS.

(...) Could this be caused by applying more ram to the Laptop. I changed it from 512mb to 1280mb ram.



Smedles (29 Mar, 2006 00:43):
You could try going to the non-kee version of the network drivers - it afinet.sys not afinetk.sys - I think there's a couple of others as well.

It definitely could be due to the memory increase - when I went from 512mb to 1024mb on my laptop I found pcmcia support stopped working due to a memory conflict.



Toby (29 Mar, 2006 15:17):
I already tried that, forgot to mention (also not working). Which other could I use?

Do you maybe know a solution for the exception problem?

Toby
