I called Indellible Blue, figuring if anybody would have a book on Warp 4, they would. And they do. It sells for $37 + s&h and, according to the salesguy, has a complete discussion of the networking capabilities of Warp 4. I should get my copy Monday or Tuesday. I'll post an update then.

I will assume that both AH> machines are running Warp 4, and the domain name is AH> MCBROOM, and the workstation names are MACHINE1 and AH> MACHINE2. The networking cards are installed and configured. Warp4 sees them on bootup. The software is that which comes with Warp4 -- I'm concerned primarily with File and Print Sharing, TCP/IP, and remote dialup (although the remote dialup will be installed only on the one remote machine, I guess). I'm having a *big* problem in this regard, though. When I first set up Warp4 on my OS/2-only system, I did not think I'd be using the networking stuff, so I removed most of it. Now that I've decided I really did want it after all, I've been trying to reinstall the networking stuff, and have a really confused mess on my hands right now. For example, after reinstalling TCP/IP, the configuration icons are gone. And something's set weird with both the File and Print Client and Network Resources folders. When I try to access them, something hangs up, and then any application I try to start after this hangs up, resulting in a queue of hung (or "waiting" to be more accurate) processes. I have to reboot the system, which unhangs the original offenders (and all the other processes too). I'm then able to access the networking applications. What a pain. I've called IBM asking how I can do a complete and clean reinstall of all networking applications and was supposed to get a callback from a level-2 tech within 9 business hours. That was three days ago. I've just about reached the point where I'm going to reinstall Warp4 in its entirety, just to make sure that I get everything this time. It'll probably be quicker. AH> In summary (using command line mode - you may prefer AH> the GUI interface provided under the 'Networking' AH> object): WHAT "Networking" object? I'm gonna have to reinstall, I guess.

If you don't install networking to begin with or if you remove it, the only way I know you can get it installed is to use selective install. This basically takes you through most of the complete OS/2 installation. However you don't loose your existing stuff. BTW, if you look up how to install networking *after* previously installing Warp 4.0 without it in the "getting started" book, it also tells you this same starting point. I didn't make it up (smile). I had to use it on one of my machines too:-). -Frank (fsexton@xpert.net - http://www.concentric.net/~fsexton) --- Blue Wave/OS2 v2.30 * Origin: Wildcard BBS,Thornton,CO HST/V34+ +1-303-252-0491 (1:104/725)
