Ethernet support with WARP 3's Internet Connection

All these files were copied from my old TCP/IP 2.0 installation.

Filename           Source (TCP/IP 2.0 installation) IFNDIS.SYS         \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL NETBIND.EXE        \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL TCPIP.NIF          \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL LANMSGDD.OS2       \IBMCOM\ LANMSGEX.EXE       \IBMCOM\ LANMSGDL.DLL       \IBMCOM\ LT0.MSG            \IBMCOM\ PROTMAN.OS2        \IBMCOM\ PRO.MSG            \IBMCOM\ PROTOCOL.INI       \IBMCOM\ ELNK3.OS2          \IBMCOM\MACS (Ethernet adapter specific driver) BOOTP.EXE          \TCPIP\BIN   (You need this if you use a BOOTP server)

If you want to play it safe it is probably a good idea to copy the rest of the *.MSG and *.DLL's from the \IBMCOM\ and \IBMCOM\DLL directories.

I have chosen to place all of these files under a \TCPIP\IBMCOM directory on my WARP 3 partition, so they are not mixed up with the WARP 3 Internet Connection files in the \TCPIP\BIN, \TCPIP\ETC, \TCPIP\DOC, etc.

You need to edit your \CONFIG.SYS to make this work. I have my WARP3 and Internet Connection on drive d:. I've appended these lines: DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM\LANMSGDD.OS2 /I:D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM\PROTMAN.OS2 /I:D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM RUN=D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM\NETBIND.EXE RUN=D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM\LANMSGEX.EXE DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\BIN\INET.SYS DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM\IFNDIS.SYS DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM\ELNK3.OS2 DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.VDD DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.SYS RUN=D:\TCPIP\BIN\CNTRL.EXE RUN=D:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSCTL.EXE

In addition you must add D:\TCPIP\IBMCOM to the LIBPATH AND DPATH statements in \CONFIG.SYS.

It is also a good idea to change the settings for the ICONS in the Internet Connection folder, so that e.g., the NewsReader/2 ICON points to the NR2.EXE file, instead of the LINKUP.EXE. You must also remove the parameter settings for all these ICONS.

NFS and X Client and Server is not a part of the Internet Connection.

> DEVICE=D:\TCPIP\BIN\INET.SYS

INET.SYS from the IAK will break the full client/server install of Ultimail. It would be best to preserve the copy of INET.SYS from the TCP/IP install if you plan on using the original Ultimail product components.

Note also for new folks.... there are no servers in the IAK.
