Hello,

I have eCS20RC4 installed.
I have no internetconnection with it.
Who can explain me how I can make use of eCSMT (it is not installed yet !)

regards,
pphhee

eCSMT will be hard to make use of without internet access as it is an internet based utility.
If you can find the packages you want to install from ecomstation.com downloads section, put them into C:\VAR\eCSMT\Download (after you install eCSMT) and it will find them there and you will be able to use eCSMT to install the packages for you. Be sure you have every file you need (all dependencies) before you start an installation this way.

This is how I updated the USB and other components on my 1.2MR laptop that has no networking card.

Your post is a little vague.
Did it find a network card during installation?
If not, what is the name of the network card you have in the machine. 
Did you install network support during install? 
Does it have a network card or are you trying to access through a modem?
Did installation go without any problems?

I needed to switch OFF USB-support during installation ! (I found afterwarts I have 5 controllers UHCI and 2 EHCI)
I also had to switch OFF ACPI !
Otherwise installation would not start !

My nic is recognised by eCS.
I do not have a networkconnection that allows me to connect. (policy rules !  :-[)
I can only acces the net via XP connection  >:(

I want now to install USB support on my eCS20RC4

I would think that the USB drivers are already in the system.  You just need to add the necessary lines to your config.sys.  The installation does not add the needed lines to the config.sys when USB support is not enabled during install.  Just copy the following lines to your config.sys file.

BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS

BASEDEV=USBD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /FLOPPIES:0 /REMOVABLES:3
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS
DEVICE=C:\eCS\BOOT\USBRESMG.SYS

Before you save, check  your editor to made sure word wrap is turned off.  Otherwise you will mess up your whole config.sys.  In fact, made an archive before you make your changes.  That way you can easily recover if you made a mistake.

I found out that my system hangs on the line BASEDEV=USB.SYS !

There is no problem when the lines BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS  and  BASEDEV=USBUHCD.SYS.
I installed these lines from usb10162 package on ecomstation.

Who hans some ideas ?

Download usbcfg from Hobbes.  Just do a search for usbcfg to get the most recent version.  It will scan your hardware and place the needed entries in config.sys. 

There is another thread mentioning it   Search the forums for usbcfg.
