+<title>OS2 Client HOWTO</title>
+
+<sect1>
+ <title>FAQs</title>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>How can I configure OS/2 Warp Connect or
+ OS/2 Warp 4 as a client for Samba?</title>
+
+ <para>A more complete answer to this question can be
+ found on <ulink url="http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/warp.html">
+ http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/warp.html</ulink>.</para>
+
+ <para>Basically, you need three components:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>The File and Print Client ('IBM Peer')
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>TCP/IP ('Internet support')
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>The "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" driver ('TCPBEUI')
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>How can I configure OS/2 Warp 3 (not Connect),
+ OS/2 1.2, 1.3 or 2.x for Samba?</title>
+
+ <para>You can use the free Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2c Client
+ for OS/2 from
+ <ulink url="ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/BusSys/Clients/LANMAN.OS2/">
+ ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/BusSys/Clients/LANMAN.OS2/</ulink>.
+ See <ulink url="http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/lanman.html">
+ http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/lanman.html</ulink> 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:</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+ 20=setup.exe
+ 20=netwksta.sys
+ 20=netvdd.sys
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+ <para>before you install the client. Also, don't use the
+ included NE2000 driver because it is buggy. Try the NE2000
+ or NS2000 driver from
+ <ulink url="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/network/ndis/">
+ ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/network/ndis/</ulink> instead.
+ </para>
+ </sect2>
+
+ <sect2>
+ <title>Are there any other issues when OS/2 (any version)
+ is used as a client?</title>
+
+ <para>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 <ulink
+ url="http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/fix.html">
+ http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/fix.html</ulink>.
+ 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. </para>

+ <title>How do I get printer driver download working
+ for OS/2 clients?</title>
+
+ <para>First, create a share called [PRINTDRV] that is
+ world-readable. Copy your OS/2 driver files there. Note
+ that the .EA_ files must still be separate, so you will need
+ to use the original install files, and not copy an installed
+ driver from an OS/2 system.</para>
+
+ <para>Install the NT driver first for that printer. Then,
+ add to your smb.conf a parameter, "os2 driver map =
+ <replaceable>filename</replaceable>". Then, in the file
+ specified by <replaceable>filename</replaceable>, map the
+ name of the NT driver name to the OS/2 driver name as
+ follows:</para>
+
+ <para>&lt;nt driver name&gt; = &lt;os2 driver
+ name&gt;.&lt;device name&gt;, e.g.:
+ HP LaserJet 5L = LASERJET.HP LaserJet 5L</para>
+
+ <para>You can have multiple drivers mapped in this file.</para>
+
+ <para>If you only specify the OS/2 driver name, and not the
+ device name, the first attempt to download the driver will
+ actually download the files, but the OS/2 client will tell
+ you the driver is not available. On the second attempt, it
+ will work. This is fixed simply by adding the device name
+ to the mapping, after which it will work on the first attempt.
