There must be a quick way to add a range of IP's to the ARP table. Just a guess from a Warp 3 user but that's where I'd start. Perhaps entering "help IPGATE at the command line might give some clues. Maybe not.

Hello Gerry, Replying to a message of Gerry Britton to Alec Herrmann: GB> After 6 days(part time, of course) I have it up & running. I Good to hear that! GB> I'm amazed at the "net" speed. It's more like having another GB> set of drives in either system. Yes - each network drive should be running at up to 10Mbps or roughly 1.2Mbytes per second; the usual network access ends up around 300Kbytes to 500Kbytes per second so a megabyte file transfer should take about 3 to 5 seconds. I just now timed a 3Mbyte transfer from a network drive on a 486DX25 to a 486DX33 on my system and it took about 15 seconds - that is about 1Mbyte in 5 seconds - and my machines are not anywhere as fast as a Pentium.

Do they need some sort of special network interface to run ? For most DOS programs, you should be able to run them in the standard DOS session, and that session will see all the network drives and printers (those that are mapped to LPTx ports) that are active in the OS/2 sessions. You can 'copy' the DOS session object to another one and edit the DOS settings for that object - this way you can have various DOS session objects for various needs.

I have a thinnet cable between my seven machines at home, but this was because this was the absolute cheapest when I started setting it up, and still is. Nowadays, I might consider twisted pair as hubs are exceedingly cheap and I sometimes tend to throw 10-50MB files around (GIS stuff), but only as I've sometimes had some network traffic waits. Otherwise, thinnet is great. JW> JW> -!- MsgToss 2.0d(best) 02/21/93 JW> !

You make up a standard DOS boot disk with Novel (dos version) on the disk, then boot the machine, this will allow you access to the server. Netadmin is run from the server, not from OS/2. This way you will know if you have your hardware setup right. in the Dos netconfig file use IRQ and not INT as in OS/2 So when you have your machine running under Dos ( you dont need a hard disk for that) Then tackle the OS/2 setup. let us know how you get on Cheers HaRrY --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: OziWest BBs Perth W.A.

I'm planning on using 10BaseT because I only have two systems to connect and I don't intend to buy a hub or add more systems in the near future. What brand(s) would you recommend for ISA NICs? Speed isn't all that important, but cost and reliability are important. I'd like to keep the total cost for NICs and cable under $100 CDN if possible.
