Title: Cannot start peer services
Post by: karotlopj on June 01, 2016, 11:43:03 am
When I try starting peer services (NET START REQ)  it attempts to start but after about a minute it gives up announcing

The REQUESTER service could not be started.
NET3060: The service did not respond to a control signal and was stopped with the DosKillProc function.

The same thing happens on both a ThinkPad T41 and T42 both of which use the Intel PRO/1000 NIC.

I have both TCP/IP and NETBIOS over TCP/IP configured for the NIC. There are no errors displayed when booting and TCP/IP works fine.

Any ideas on why I can't use netbios?

Try

NET START PEER

This usually means a network connectivity or configuration problem.

Try looking at \IBMCOM\LANTRAN.LOG and/or the output of 'net error' for clues.

A lot of newer devices (routers, WiFi, etc.) do not pass NETBIOS packets. Try NETBIOS over TCPIP.

The last line says

As I said in the first msg

I also have a Thinkpad T41p with the exact same PROTOCOL.INI which is running LAN Server without any problem.

It should be clear that Netbios over TCP/IP (and peer/requester) can not work without working TCPBEUI. Maybe the lines you did not post can give a clue what's wrong with your setup. But we do not know...

That's the bit before the error.... looks perfectly normal. TCP/IP works OK.

PROTOCOL.INI  looks normal.... I guess it must be something in IBMLAN.INI causing the problem - unless it's a resource issue....

I see this error yesterday in me old Asus laptoop Z83C. I can not start the requester.
I install from the CD, the ecs22b2 + all the updates , after run Dfsee for repartition all the disk, and run minilvm for install a bmr , and after that install airboot. I can not install airboot without install the ibm bmr. Although not use the bmr.
ERROR in start requester.
Reinstall again, ERROR in requester???? The first time I see this error.
Reinstall again, but FORMAT WITH ERROR CHECK SLOW, without the updates all is ok. I only have to install the updates, but I think that the solution is in format.

It does not happen on my T41 and T42p. And even not on my T60.

My protocol.ini and my ibmlan.ini looks normal too. Maybe we've a different understanding what 'looks normal' mean. Or we do have installed peer or drivers different. I don't know.

I guess it must be a hardware error.... I'll try installing on a different disk and see if it makes any difference.

Seems, like me, you are a fan of ThinkPads....Ever come across this forum?

http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewforum.php?f=10

I only stumbled on it recently...

I don't know if you have one of these:-

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultrabay-Optical-Thinkpad-UltraBase-ThinkPad/dp/B008F6MDM4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464945592&sr=8-1&keywords=thinkpad+ultrabay

I really recommend them. They come in IDE and SATA flavours so you can stick a big disk in a T41 and even interchange disks between T60 and T41. And have lots of fun when when using two disks both of which have BM installed :)

It has been many years since I used this feature but I do remember it will not start unless everything is "correct". That includes the order of things in protocol.ini
try looking at this:

I do for the T42p with a SSD installed. Boots faster but still takes about a minute. Similar time as what hybernation takes. I've such thing for the T60 too. But as suspend/resume does not work with my T60 I do not use it very much.

Interesting article. I'll have to go through it step by step.

That shows how it's wrong configured. TCPBEUI cannot have a logical adapter number of 0. Change the number in MPTS to 1 or another unused number and it will run.

It works fine with TCPBEUI logical adapter number of 0 here on several systems so the above is not the answer.

The LT00141 error is usually indicative of a tcpip misconfiguration.

This can be right if you are running Samba Server

Yes, work fine, with 0

The better solution for this problem START REQUESTER, that I found is restore from a backup from other system that is running well. Change if is necesary the net adapters, etc.... and ready.
