<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>

<sect2>
<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><nt driver name> = <os2 driver
name>.<device name>, 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.
