2 to use Samba with OS/2 Warp.

9 Can I use Samba with Warp?
11 Yes. The MSClient software at ftp.microsoft.com in the Bussys
12 (lanman os2 directory) will work, sort of. It is version 2.2c.
14 First, uncloack os2ver. (attrib -h -r -s c:\os2ver). It is a
15 text file. change netwksta.xxx to 20=netwksta.sys. Also add
16 20=setup.exe. Another change will be needed, a .vdd file. I remember
17 it came up during the installation as being a wrong version. I wrote
18 the name down, changed os2ver to include it, and restarted the

32 Re-cloak os2ver. (attrib +h +r +s c:\os2ver)
34 Run the installation from an OS/2 Box. Note that your mouse wont work,
35 use the TAB key to move around, enter to select hilighted items.
37 Here is a copy of my Config.sys file regarding the Laman entries.
38 Note even though the version is 2.2c, it reports 2.2a in the text.

56 If you have an NE2000 card, don't reboot, or you'll be sorry.
57 enable the automatic backup mechanism for recovering old config.sys and
58 other files in OS/2. It paid for itself during this installation nightm
59 before I knew better!)
61 Next, (or perhaps before this), if you have an NE2000 adaptor,
62 get the ns2000 files from hobbes.nmsu.edu (in ns2000.zip). I manually
63 patched protocol.ini to refer to that adaptor, and copied it into my
64 c:\lanman directory. Note that I also modified the driver to be loaded
65 in the config.sys to the ns2000.os2. It might install as an "other"
68 A command file "startup.cmd" is placed in c:\. This file is
69 automatically run when OS/2 Warp starts.
70 Here is a copy of my startup file. Note that Warp sometimes fails to
71 login properly to the server. I solve this by checking for the
72 existance of a file, and rerunning the loing if that file fails to

87 Finally, the system expects to be on a domain with a domain
88 server. BTW, TCP/IP and NetBeui allow simultaneous communication with
89 Os/2 lanserver 4.0, and Samba. (Note: Lanserver 4.0 won't yet to
90 TCP/IP. (Well,it might, but it crashes before I get to that point, so I
91 havent' been able to enable it))
93 I have not yet tried with only a SAMBA server on the domain.
