Configuring OS/2 Warp Connect or OS/2 Warp 4
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 , and click
on in Protocols. This line
is then moved to Current Configuration. Select that line,
click on , and increase it from 0 to 1. Save this
configuration.
If the Samba server is not on your local subnet, you
can optionally add IP names and addresses of these servers
to the 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 IBM OS/2 Warp Web page
