How can I configure OS/2 Warp Connect or OS/2 Warp 4 as a client for Samba? + +A. A more complete answer to this question can be found on: + http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/warp.html + + Basically, you need three components: + + * The File and Print Client ('IBM Peer') + * TCP/IP ('Internet support') + * The "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" driver ('TCPBEUI') + + Installing the first two together with the base operating system on a blank + system is explained in the Warp manual. If Warp has already been installed, + but you now want to install the networking support, use the "Selective + Install for Networking" object in the "System Setup" folder. + + Adding the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" driver is not described in the manual and + just barely in the online documentation. Start MPTS.EXE, click on OK, click + on "Configure LAPS" and click on "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP" in + 'Protocols'. This line is then moved to 'Current Configuration'. Select + that line, click on "Change number" and increase it from 0 to 1. Save this + configuration. + + If the Samba server(s) is not on your local subnet, you can optionally add + IP names and addresses of these servers to the "Names List", or specify a + WINS server ('NetBIOS Nameserver' in IBM and RFC terminology). For Warp + Connect you may need to download an update for 'IBM Peer' to bring it on + the same level as Warp 4. See the webpage mentioned above. + + +Q. How can I configure OS/2 Warp 3 (not Connect), OS/2 1.2, 1.3 or 2.x for + Samba? + +A. You can use the free Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2c Client for OS/2 from + ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/BusSys/Clients/LANMAN.OS2/ + See http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/lanman.html for more information on + how to install and use this client. In a nutshell, edit the file \OS2VER + in the root directory of the OS/2 boot partition and add the lines + + 20=setup.exe + 20=netwksta.sys + 20=netvdd.sys + + before you install the client. Also, don't use the included NE2000 driver + because it is buggy. Try the NE2000 or NS2000 driver from + <a href="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/network/ndis/"> + ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/network/ndis/</a> instead. + + +Q. Are there any other issues when OS/2 (any version) is used as a client? + +A. When you do a NET VIEW or use the "File and Print Client Resource Browser", + no Samba servers show up. This can be fixed by a patch from + http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/fix.html + The patch will be included in a later version of Samba. It also fixes a + couple of other problems, such as preserving long filenames when objects + are dragged from the Workplace Shell to the Samba server. + + |
