Has DDNSAPC.CMD ever worked for you in the past?

Looking at the script, I wonder if an argument is required.  Typically IBM would create a Desktop object to run the script and provide the site specific argument in the object parameters.

I've attached a screen shot of the error, if that helps.

If I have too, I'll disassemble the jars back to java and take it from there (done that more than once...).

Did that and added OS/2 to the UPNP_EXPORTS define (needed for linking) yesterday, still missing symbols. Have to look better later when I have more time.
Edit: The import lib now is a lot bigger so it's just the linker line that needs fixed, later.

How about greping __declspec(dllexport), and adding OS/2  ?

Networking / DDNSAPC.CMD: Communication could not be established with the server.
« Last post by ChrisGWarp on January 31, 2026, 06:34:37 am »
Hi everyone,

Has anyone else had the issue when running the DDNS Server Administrator (DDNSAPC.CMD) - or the DHCP Server Administrator for that matter?

I get a momentary pop of a dialog but then it says "Communication could not be established with the server."

Named is most certainly running and functional.

Cheers!

I gave it a quick try. Unluckily I got a DLL with no exports. Perhaps Tellie will have better luck, he seems to have a better environment.

Hello Remy.

Looks interesting:
- upnp (The Library): The core C++ framework that handles the networking and protocol logic.
- AIVCtrl: A ready-to-use "Remote Control" application for users. It acts as a GUI to browse servers and play music/videos on networked devices.
- chupnp: A small utility for developers to test the framework’s functionality and explore discovered device actions.
- Google Drive Plugin: An optional module that allows you to treat your Google Drive files as a UPnP media source.

Let me ask around

Regards

Hi!

Is it possibly having a ported QtUpnp ?

Hardware / Re: Serial Port Shenanigans - ArcaOS 5.1.1 on a Lenovo M920t

Hello AmbulatoryCorpse, welcome to the forum.

Thanks much. Glad to make everyones acquaintance.


I always wanted to interact with someone that has more knowledge on OS/2 BBS, since I want to organize the stuff on HobbesArchive:
- http://hobbesarchive.com/?path=%2fpub%2fos2%2fserver%2fbbs
and
- http://hobbesarchive.com/?path=%2fpub%2fos2%2futil%2fBBS

Well I was dos, desqview, win 3.11 and win 95. Licensed and modified WWIV 4.23 - 4.24. Always wanted to try os/2, but couldn't get my youthful hands on a copy at the time.

Looks like a decent challenge - it would be nice to have a proper decent OS/2 BBS scene.


...and even if it is possible document you journey to serial-model BBS in ArcaOS.

I'm terrible about keeping notes - however having an open discussion and solving problems in a forum can definately contribute to having documentation - other peoples documentation efforts for thier BBS projects has informed some of this.


Like Roderick said, type "mode com1" on the command line to see what it shows and let us know.

Well that works in the 4os/2 window, so at least we're seeing that far. Gives me status for the port and lets me change speed, parity, etc.


Your "ThinkCentre M920 Tower" seems to have serial port, and the external USR Sportster 33.6k should work there. It is also interesting that this is the first ArcaOS UEFI installation that I seen with someone trying to make a serial modem to work on it.

Figured it should work, presuming AN has kept the driver stack up well enough. Getting basic WWIV 4.24 up on a physical com port should be easy enough presuming the intervening layers are working. Other things will require fossil support be set up at some layer or other - SIO just bakes it in as it's really built for BBS use.

I do have other modems to hook up and play with, so a multi-port rs232 serial interface is planned, perhaps even a multi modem pcie card.. dunno, very much a for fun project that
mostly gets prodded at night. I would love to have copies of BBS in general, WWIV in specific, file archives - have a few, always open to more.

The fun parts will be getting vmodems working beside the hardware in the multi node setup - since SIO looks abandoned and I don't see any modern replacements available in the os/2 world - though there are plenty on windows now - and figuring out an outbound telnet/rlogin gateway door.
