This might now be the right conference for this subject, but I don't see any other OS/2 conference on this system, so here is goes... I heard that the new OS/2 v4.0 can run win'95 programs, can someone confirm this please, I need to know if it is true, before I go out and spend my cash on it. --- QScan/PCB v1.17b / 01-0182 * Origin: Balmy Beach Toronto 416-690-9641 (1:250/422) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 207 OS2 LAN Ref: DEY00005 Date: 10/28/96 From: JOE LERCH Time: 05:33am \/To: ALL (Read 2 times) Subj: How to set up TCPIP All: We currently have two computers using peer to peer with Warp Connect & Merlin. We are planning to add a third computer soon. Although we can share modems, and use the IAK through the modem on the other computer, we do not have full TCP/IP between the different computers. I started to add the TCP/IP support but the installation wanted information on routers etc. and I had no idea how to set that up. Can I set up three computers using peer to peer and TCP/IP ? If so, could some one share with me the directions on how this is done? Two computers will be using Warp 4 and one will have Warp Connect 3 . Peer to Peer is already installed and working, we are just waiting for a nic card to hook the third computer back up to the system. Thanks in advance! A general how-to will be great, and may be benificial for others interested in adding TCP/IP support to their peer to peer setups. joe --- timEd/2 1.10 * Origin: After Hours BBS (717)865-2636 USR DS 16.8 (1:270/315) Hello John, Replying to a message of John Sakers to All: JS> 1.

There are several out there - although you will not find any specific to Warp 4.0. Most books that cover Microsoft Lan Manager and IBM Lan Server can be useful since the network topology and terms used are similar. Same (but a little less useful) for WIndows for Workgroup books.
