ok, checked some things, still not getting a valid connection from the thinkpad. All my other computers connecting through the router fine.

The router's configuration status page shows the Thinkpad's NIC is connecting at 10mbps at half duplex. I went into MPTS and entered in full duplex in the proper field. No change.

I cannot tx or rx pings on the thinkpad either. I can ping 127.0.0.1 however.

I did ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.66 but that did not help any.

I manually entered in an IP in the TCPIP config notebook, but that did not work either.

Summarizing lantran.log, it says the NIC is detecting cable type:
the media detected: 10baseT
Full Duplex mode (selected)
IO mode enabled
SYS0318 message file \MPTN.MSG cannot be found for message 0003.
Adaptor 0 is using node address 0004AC1AC45A. The token ring format is 00203558235A.

I'm thinking the half duplex issue is the problem. One concern is that there's a program called LANAID for this NIC that's supposed to be run to set it up. I execute it according to the readme file, detects I'm running OS2 but it just says to run MPTS to configure the NIC and then no option but to exit. Maybe the NIC is locked in half duplex mode for some reason?

Specifics:
Thinkpad 390
WSEB
IBM PCMCIA etherjet card

During boot, I get a message saying that DHCP cannot get parameters, but will continue trying in the background. The network requester autostarts, but eventually times out.

lantran.log has lines explaining that the etherjet driver is loaded and operational, the card is inserted and initialised, and has detected the cable type. It then mentions a sys0318 error.

MPTS has my NIC listed with--
0 - OS2 NETBIOS
0 - OS2 TCP/IP
that seems ok to me.

I went to the TCPIP local config notebook and verified I have the LAN0 interface enabled and using DHCP. I manually configured the loopback interface to 127.0.0.1 and can ping it.

If I manually try to start the requester, it times out saying that the requester could not start and was eventually killed by some function. The error in question is NET3060.

DHCP monitor status says its discovering, but never changes or updates.

I do get a link light on the NIC, and a yellow instead of green status light on the router itself.

What else should I check for? I know I almost have it working finally.

I just wish I could use my IBM highrate wireless LAN card instead. 8-(

Hardware / Need help with PCMCIA NIC install on Thinkpad 390
« on: 2009.06.25, 06:31:18 »
I've gotten WSEB installed on my thinkpad 390, but still struggling with trying to get a PCMCIA NIC installed and working. I gave up on a NE4000 card and am now working with an IBM etherjet. I installed the driver through MPTS and on the reboot, the driver loads but card does not come on. I went back into MPTS and specified port300 and IRQ 7 in the settings for the NIC. The driver would load again, but this time itwould beep and card would still not come on. Next, I had installed LANAID in OS2 according to the etherjet's card readme file and ran it, but all it basically does is tell me to run MPTS to configure the card which I have already done. After a fresh reboot, I ran selective install and set up PCMCIA support for this laptop. With the etherjet card in the top slot, I shut down and restarted. The NIC driver in config.sys loaded and I got a LINK light on the card, so that tells me it now has power. Unfortunately, the system locked right there and I had to cycle the power to get it rebooted. Now, the system boots to the OS2 splash screen and hard locks right there, even with the etherjet card removed.

Seems like a resource conflict. What to do next?  From previous failed installs, it seems that installing PCMCIA support causes major problems even before trying to configure any PCMCIA physical device.

Networking / OS/2 desktop hangs when accessing windows share
« on: 2008.08.22, 04:15:52 »
Got WSEB 4.52 up and running and had little difficulty getting OS/2 to see a shared drive on a windows 2000 computer.

I can open up the file and print client resource browser, select the windows computer and open the shared drive (\\VISION1211\OS2RIGHTHERE) and view the contents. If I try to copy files over or attempt to execute a file on the share, the OS/2 system may/will become unresponsive. The mouse moves around, but cannot bring any other windows into focus and I noticed  the seconds on the clock stop moving as well. A few times I've had to power cycle the server. If I'm lucky, I can control+esc several times and the system will close the shared drive icon view window and then the WPS will go away and come back, and things will be fine as long as I do not try to use that networked share. Any ideas on what's going on? I have not made any modifications to the network settings on the Windows box, and for that matter, have never had to make changes in Windows for any version of OS/2 I've networked to it.

All these OS2 variants are confounding me. Warp server 4, WSEB, and CP1, CP2, MCP and ACP have got me all confused!

I have an IBM netfinity running WSEB FP3 that works flawlessly although I think I did have to perform a minor file update on some main file. Networking and USB work, and both CPUs are utilized.

Just recently, I set up a new array on the same server and installed v4.52 (aka CP2?) I'm having some problems with the WPS locking up when connected and browsing a windows share, and only one CPU is being used. Are there any available fixpaks or updates for 4.52?  In the past, I think I stumbled upon a patch to enable SMP support and some OS/2 kernel updates, but at this point I'm totally confused.
