Btw. there is more than one entry in bugtracker regarding DOS. Maybe it helps to read there....

One problem I remember was with some ACPI versions and not using /PIC parameter. Which version do you use?

With latest ACPI versions it works for me without any parameter. I'm using the X300 with SNAP, you too?

I want to switch between 2 eCS Systems. This does not work with PS/2 mouse and Amouse but with IBM mouse driver. After switching back the mouse seems to be locked to the top left corner - moves away when moving the mouse but immediately jumps back to top left.

You might be barkin' up the wrong tree there Andi. I have been using a KVM switch with AMouse for many  years now, and I have never had a problem with the two conflicting, not cooperating or any form of disconnection in anyway. So while you might be able to say that there is a problem with AMouse and your KVM switch, it may not be as general as you think... and AMouse may not be the problem at all.
Interesting. I read about problems with AMOUSE and KVM which are solved by using IBM mouse driver. The same what I see it here. So thought this is always a problem with AMOUSE at least with PS/2.

QuoteBTW, I have used both PS/2 and USB mice with my switch and Amouse.

I doubt that will help your cause, but it may help in finding the real source of your problem.
Any info is appreciated. Thx.

QuoteNow, I did at one time, long, long ago, use a low-grade monitor/mouse/keyboard, (or Keyboard/Video/Mouse), box and regardless of what combination of mice and drivers I used, there was often frustrating problems with mouse disconnect and I ended up using as many mice as I had machines... eventually that setup ruined a monitor or two so...

So watch out for junky switches!  ;)

I do not use the video part of the switch as this is better handled by the monitor built in switch anyway. Only keyboard and mouse. Btw., a monitor which is destroyed by 'wrong' input signal is not a great loss anyway ;)

Anyone knows about development status of amouse driver? I think there is not much activity in the last time. Is source code available?

There is a known problem when using amouse and KVM switches - amouse does not properly recover when PS/2 mouse is switched back by the KVM switch. If source code would be available I'm interested in looking into this problem.

QuoteThe simple answer is that you shouldn't have more than one DHCP server on your network.
I've coupled my network with the network of my sister in the neighbor house with a WLAN repeater and beam antennas. Both networks are in the same 192.168.1.x net. I know there should be a router between but the WLAN devices do not offer router or firewall capabilities. Both houses need WLAN and DHCP for notebooks to get connected to the internet. One ADSL connections each house. Usually notebooks get IP settings from the Access point the connect. But my T42p when running eCS gets IP configuration from my sisters ADSL router. Although not exactly what I want question is why eCS thinks this settings are not convenient.

QuoteIf they are not on your network then don't select the suspect ones.
How to select a DHCP server?

QuoteI have seen more network problems caused by people adding a wireless router to an existing network and not switching off the DHCP server on that unit.
I vaguely remember reading about mechanism for clients to handle situations with more than one DHCP server. Maybe even in the standard. At least if eCS thinks the settings from one DHCP server are not convenient why not using the offer from the other instead indefinitely asking and ignoring again and again?

QuoteExcuse my ignorance, but what is Turbo folders?

I'm trying to connect with XWLAN widget to my WLAN but very often I can not get a WLAN connection. It took some time till I found out the culprit is DHCP. I do not get a valid IP configuration. DHCP monitor says text as stated in subject. Translated this means something like 'resources from 192.168.1.242 are not convenient. Ignoring'. This is perfectly correct as .242 is not the DHCP server I want to get my IP. But how does the DHCP daemon know this is not convenient? And why does it not take the offered IP from .201 or .244 instead?

I've played a little bit with dhcpcd.cfg but do not find a working configuration. Curiously the same hardware running WinXP instead can connect to the network and uses IP configuration from another DHCP server.

AFAIR there is a known problem when turbo folders is activated in xwp and wpswiz. I've working both xwp and wpswiz on my notebooks (without turbo folders). But had no success installing wpswiz on my main dual core machine so far.....

Have you checked the size of the ini files \os2\os2.ini and \os2\os2sys.ini? If one or both have size 0 then replace them with os2.!!! os2sys.!!!

Other solution maybe <ALT> <F1> and use a working archive.

Can someone please point me to the right place where to get/read information about similar problems and possibly find a solution?

http://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.genmac.user comes to mind but you already know this list. Just in case you've forgotten ....

...We really need a good, preferably Rexx enabled, large file supporting FTP client for OS/2. :(
What do you think about netdrive with ftp plugin? I use it regularly since years.
