Sure, no problem at all. Protocol.ini attached.

Driver and NIF file worked perfect! Once installed I used the below settings.

1. Adapter memory address: D100
2. Adapter IO address: 320
3. Adapter IRQ: 10

Can I send a donation your way for the help?

@RTAN - Great suggestion. I have FTP running on the NAS but do like the option of having the FTP server run on OS/2.

@LARS - Waiting on the dongle to arrive, eta is Friday. Once I get that I will follow the instructions you have posted and report back. Thank you for putting the time and work into this.

@Steven - Thank you for linking to the driver.

Hey Lars, Just getting time to test this now. The URL you reference is not working. When I manually got to pub/new I see 3 choices that relate to the adapter.

1. Xircom_PerfSeries_2-50.zip (Xircom Performance Series Adapter 2.50 (1998-01-21)
2. Xircon_CardBusEth_1-25.zip (Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100 Adapter 1.25 (1997-09-23)
3. Xircon_CardBusEth_3-0.zip (Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10/100 Adapter 3.0 (2000-07-28)

Sorry for the late reply, had some hardware issues on the Thinkpad. The original drive died so I replaced with a flash card. The Xircom dongle also seems to be defective. I installed on a Windows 98 laptop and got the drivers installed but was getting inconsistent pings at the slightest touch of the dongle.

@Martin - I downloaded the drivers you posted, need to get a dongle to test. Thank you.

In case you want to retry your CE2 card with the driver set that Martin provided (say "FIN-XIR2.ZIP"):
the .NIF installation file would need a "brush up" to actually install the proper entries into the PROTOCOL.INI file.
Gleaning at the driver binary (CE2NDIS.OS2) and other .NIF files from Xircom, I think I would be able to provide you with a fixed .NIF file.

I can also see that even with the CE2NDIS.OS2 driver (and a corrected .NIF file), you will be able to ignore socket services and run the driver in "point enabled" mode which would allow you to always have PCMCIA support installed. If set up correctly via PROTOCOL.INI, the driver will just ignore/bypass the card services.

@Martin: would you see any issues in uploading these drivers to Hobbesarchive ? I am not the legal expert ...

If you would be willing to cleanup the .NIF file for install I would be more than happy to test and buy a cup coffee or make a donation for the work put in. I have a dongle on the way and should be here next week.

Question: Do I need to install IBM Peer for OS/2 or IBM LAN Requester 4.0 to access shares on my NAS?

This bring me back to where I'm at now:

1. OS/2 Warp 3 installed
2. PCMCIA Support NOT installed (thank you Richard)
3. Installed Xircom REM56G-100 card -> cem56_100 drivers - https://www.os2site.com/sw/drivers/laptop/cem56_100.zip
4. Configured card using Steven's settings
-Adapter memory address: D100
-Adapter IO address: 320
-Adapter IRQ: 10
-PC Card Slot: 2
-Emulate COM port 1 - 4: No
-Modem and Network share IRQ: Yes
-Enable verbose messages: Yes
5. Ping router address -> success
6. Ping www.os2world.com -> success

Can you post your setup.cmd and also protocol.ini ?

The error does not sound as if this is HW or driver related. It rather sounds like TCP/IP not being set up correctly.

By the way: you might also consider applying the patch to the NDIS driver:
https://www.os2site.com/sw/drivers/network/3com/3c589patch.zip

That might not strictly be necessary on your system but it surely won't hurt either. In addition, it will make the "3net_log.exe" utility work.

Finally, look here, it is about Warp 4 but since you are using Warp 3, it might apply nonetheless:

Hi Lars, I swapped out the 3Com for a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet Adapter IIps (PS-CE2-10) which I have made further progress with than I have had with the 3Com. Since this card uses the pointed driver from my understanding I configured socket services to exclude slot 1. On boot-up I see some link activity but once fully into the WPS I get no activity on adapter lights or ping response. The adapter is picking IRQ and Memory address. I have tried a few different IRQs to see if that made any difference but get the same result. I have not tried to manually set Memory address. I have uploaded the requested information.

** I have switched out the 3Com card for a Xircom to continue troubleshooting **

I'm needing help if anyone has any suggestions. I have a Thinkpad 600e with OS/2 Warp 3 Connect installed. I'm having trouble getting the PCMCIA 3Com EtherLink III 3C589D card working. When booting up I get a error saying interface does not exist. Here are the steps I have taken with some pictures:


1. Installed PC Card Director for OS/2 version 4.12 - https://thinkpads.com/support/Thinkpad-Drivers/download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/ddfm/600e.html
2. Installed 3COM 3C589 Etherlink III PCMCIA ethernet card NDIS driver https://www.os2site.com/sw/drivers/network/3com/589os2.zip
3. Configured TCP/IP and NETBUI

Hi Martin,

Sounds card is working now. The older driver is what my sound card liked. I'm including some screenshots of the setup process and settings that worked for me. You definitely need to know what address, DMA and IRQ settings the card is configured for. In picture 5 I show my config.sys items related to the sound card, I deleted the last two lines since I'm not using the game port.

Hi Martin,

Yes we can. I'll put together a document for you that you can use to finish the Wiki page. Once I have everything working I'm going to write the system and reinstall from scratch to make sure I have all the steps down. I'm fighting with the sounds card right now so need to get that figured out.

Martin,

Just looking for TCP/IP connectivity to access internal FTP server and SMB shares on my local network.

Tom,

Following your directions and specifically using the drivers in "LANSVR30.OS2" worked for getting the Kingston card and running.


Also finding the below wiki page that Martin wrote in 2014 was a great step by step as well.

Thank you Martin & Tom!

Hi Martin,

I reconfigured how the CF card and the CD-ROM are attached to the SIIG EIDE controller.

Hardware:
Compact Flash to IDE Adapter - SD-CF-IDE-BR
SIIG FAST EIDE CONTROLLER- CN2419
Mitsumi CD-ROM - CRMC-FX4824T

Setup:
1) Disabled secondary IDE interface
2) Set CF IDE adapter to master
3) Set CD-ROM to slave
4) Connected both to to the primary IDE interface on the SIIG controller

OS/2 installed without issue and boots without any issue using this configuration

Hardware / Addonics OPL Sound Card - OS/2 Warp Connect
« on: April 29, 2023, 09:21:24 pm »
I'm trying to get this OPL (YMF701-S) sounds card working under Warp Connect. I have tried a few of the Sound Blaster options that come built-in but no luck. I have included a picture of config output. Not sure if this card is supported under OS/2.

Networking / KNE 2121+ Network Card - OS/2 Warp Connect
« on: April 29, 2023, 09:07:48 pm »
I'm slowly making progress in my quest to get a Tandy/GRiD 386sc installed with OS/2 Warp Connect. I'm now at the stage of trying to get network going. The computer has a Kingston KNE-2121 card installed and have verifed operation under DOS with mTCIP. I'm struggling a bit with OS/2 and just now sure what drivers work. I have started the MPTS config tool and select "LAN adapters and Protocols" - > "Configure" -> "Other Adapters"

I have found KNE-2100 drivers and its broken into 2 disks.

Disk 1:
PCNTNW.OS2

Disk 2:
MSLANMAN.OS2
 -PCNTND.OS2
-PROTOCOL.INI
-PCNTND.NIF

NDIS
-LANSERVR.OS2
--PCNTND.NIF
--PCNTND.OS2
LANSVR30.OS2
--PCNTND.NIF
--PCNTND.OS2
