When using the TCP/IP procedures described in this manual for remote OS/2 installation, please note the following: 1. When using NFS on OS/2 Version 2.0 systems, the NFS200.IFS statement must be used. Update the CONFIG.SYS sample, included on Page 43 in the Remote Installation manual, from "IFS=\NFS.IFS" to "IFS=\NFS200.IFS". 2. The basic NFSRFI.CMD file, shown on Page 44 in the Remote Installation manual, may not have all of the necessary parameters for the ifconfig and mount commands. For example, your IP network may use subnet masking, which would require the netmask parameter in the ifconfig command. Also, the mount command options may be different when using NFS servers on other platforms. 3. The DISKPREP.CMD program, located on the diskette included with the Remote Installation manual, is incorrect. The DISKPREP.CMD program documented on Page 164 of the Remote Installation manual shows the correct syntax, but the actual DISKPREP.CMD program on the diskette is NOT correct. Change the ":colon" to ":" around lines 88 to 92 as per the following examples: spath'\disk_1\fdisk /delete:all /disk:1 'rdir spath'\disk_1\fdisk /file:'spath'\fdsk.dat 'rdir <=====================================================================> ENTRY43 LAST UPDATE: 10/02/92 Subject: CSD for Base Kit Installation Instructions When installing the Base Kit CSD update, please review the following instructions to ensure the updated modules have been successfully installed: 1. Review the instructions in the file named BASECSD.DOC. 2. Make sure you stop all TCP/IP applications, including INETD. 3. The CNTRL.EXE file cannot easily be replaced. This file is started through a RUN command in CONFIG.SYS, and you will be required to REM (ie. comment out) out the CNTRL.EXE statement in CONFIG.SYS prior to starting BASECSD.CMD. After installing the CSD, remove the REM from CONFIG.SYS and reboot your system. The procedure procedure will also allow the TCPIPDLL.DLL to be installed, it cannot be installed when it is in use. 4. The BASECSD.CMD install utility copies the INET.SYS and IFNDIS.SYS files into the IBMCOM directory of the boot drive. If you have more than one IBMCOM directory, you MUST manually copy these two files into each of the IBMCOM directories. Also, the BASECSD.CMD install utility searches for the first IBMCOM directory, starting with the C, D then E drive. For example, if you booted from the E drive, 3 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 and an IBMCOM directory is installed on the D drive, BASECSD.CMD updates only the D drive. You must manually copy INET.SYS and IFNDIS.SYS to the E drive. <=====================================================================> ENTRY42 LAST UPDATE: 10/02/92 Subject: How to Obtain NetBIOS V1.0.1 for TCP/IP Electronically An IBM Systems Engineer can issue the following commands from their VM system to obtain the updated NetBIOS V1.0.1 for TCP/IP for OS/2 product: REQUEST NETCSD FROM OS2TCPIP AT RALVMM Customers can obtain the CSD update for NetBIOS for TCP/IP through the IBM Support Center. See ENTRY41 below for instructions. <=====================================================================> ENTRY41 LAST UPDATE: 10/02/92 Subject: NetBIOS for TCP/IP Requires Update for TCP/IP V1.2.x for OS/2 The NetBIOS for TCP/IP for OS/2 product, also known as TCP/NetBIOS, requires a Corrective Service Diskette (CSD) update to run with either IBM TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 or TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2. To obtain the CSD update for TCP/NetBIOS, contact the IBM Support Center, TCP/IP Level 2 Support, and create a problem report. The IBM Support Center will then mail an updated TCP/NetBIOS diskette to the customer. The CSD update can also be obtained electronically - see ENTRY42 above. NetBIOS V1.0.1 for TCP/IP for OS/2 provides support for TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 and TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2. <=====================================================================> ENTRY40 LAST UPDATE: 10/02/92 Subject: Some Common Problems Fixed by the TCP/IP V1.2.1 CSDs There are several common problems in the TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 level code, that are fixed by the current Corrective Service Diskettes. Here is a list of the more common problems: 1. On OS/2 Version 2.0 systems, the X Windows server may display some erroneous screen data. To resolve this problem apply the X Windows Server Kit UB02205 CSD (or higher), which is described in ENTRY31 below. 2. Using the REXEC client to remotely start AIXTERM sessions or other X Windows client applications takes several minutes. To resolve this problem apply the X Windows Server Kit UB02205 CSD (or higher), described in ENTRY31 below. 3. When running the TELNET.EXE client, the OS/2 system utilization becomes excessive, as indicated by the OS/2 V2.0 PULSE utility. To resolve this problem apply the Base Kit UB02274 CSD (or higher), which is described in ENTRY37 below. 4 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 4. When running TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 and NetWare Services for OS/2 concurrently on the same system, and using the ODINSUP utility for ODI driver support for Ethernet LAN adapters, the system will hang. This problem only occurs when using Ethernet LAN adapters and is resolved in the the Base Kit UB02252 CSD (or higher), which is described in ENTRY35 below. 5. When running ROUTED for IP routing, and using one or more Ethernet LAN adapters, a "route is timing out for interface x" message will occur and IP routing will stop. To resolve this problem apply the Base Kit UB02252 CSD (or higher), which is described in ENTRY35 below. 6. When running ROUTED for IP routing, and using one or more Ethernet LAN adapters, a "route is timing out for interface x" message will occur and IP routing will stop. To resolve this problem apply the Base Kit UB02252 CSD (or higher), which is described in ENTRY35 below. <=====================================================================> ENTRY39 LAST UPDATE: 09/30/92 Subject: New PMANT and TN3270 Externalized Translate Table Capability Support for specifying external ASCII/EBCIDC translation table has been added to TN3270 and PMANT in the UB02274 Base Kit CSD for TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2. This is supported by the following files: \tcpip\bin\tn3270.exe \tcpip\bin\pmant.exe \tcpip\etc\3278xlt.sam (sample translate table) Both TN3270 and PMANT have the following syntax for specifying a translate table. If the translate_table_file_name does not contain the full path then the application will search the ETC directory. If the -tx option is not specified, the application will use the file 3278XLT.TBL in ETC directory. Thus if you want to use a particular translate table most of the time, you should copy your translate table file to 3270XLT.TBL in your ETC directory. If the file 3278XLT.TBL does not exist, the application will use the default US translate table internal to the application. 3278XLT.SMP is shipped as an example and contains the US ASCII/EBCDIC translations. The format of the translation table is the same as that of IBM TCP/IP for VM. Thus TN3270 and PMANT can use a translation table downloaded form IBM TCP/IP for VM. <=====================================================================> ENTRY38 LAST UPDATE: 09/30/92 Subject: New Modules for 3172 Model 3 Offload Support The following files were added or changed in Base Kit CSD UB02274 5 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 to support the new 3172 Model 3 offload function, used by IBM TCP/IP V2.2.1 for MVS. It is not necessary to apply these NEW files unless you are running TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 in a 3172 using the offload capability.

This CSD contains all previous Base kit fixes. Also, new support has been added for PMANT and TN3270 externalized translate tables and support for the 3172 Model 3 offload that works together with IBM TCP/IP Version 2.2.1 for MVS. Review ENTRY38 for the 3172 Model 3 offload support and ENTRY39 for the PMANT/TN3270 externalized translate tables. This UB02274 CSD includes the following new updates, and the earlier updates listed in ENTRY35 below.

If you are using the X25 networking feature of TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 you must also install the Base Kit CSD at UB02252 or higher. Some of the header files were changed for fixing a problem with the IFNDIS.SYS module and the X.25 files had to be re-compiled due to their dependency on these header files. The X25ES1.CFG and X25ES2.CFG files, included with this X.25 CSD, are sample configuration files for Extended Services. <=====================================================================> ENTRY35 LAST UPDATE: 09/08/92 Subject: TCP/IP V1.2.1 Base Kit CSD Released (UB02252) A new Base Kit CSD, UB02252, was released for TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 on 9/08/92. This CSD contains all previous Base kit fixes and has since been replaced by a more recent Base Kit CSD. This CSD includes the following updates, which is a comprehensive list of all APARs fixed in the UB02252 level TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 Base Kit CSD.

This CSD was been since been replaced by a more recent Base kit CSD. <=====================================================================> ENTRY31 LAST UPDATE: 07/29/92 Subject: TCP/IP V1.2.1 X Windows Server Kit CSD Released (UB02205) A new X Windows Server Kit CSD, UB02205, was released for TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 on 7/29/92. This CSD includes X Windows Server 1.2.1.3 and includes an information file named README.1ST. The PMX CSD includes the following updates: Version 1.2.1.3 - July 22, 1992 - This version fixes several problems: For OS/2 2.0, there was interference between REXEC and PMX. This has been worked around by giving PMX a higher priority class. ICCCM conventions are observed for the minimum and maximum sizes of windows. Z order bugs are fixed. Some changes were made which should fix a number of problems to do with task list entries. However, not all reported problem situations could be tested for. Version 1.2.1.2 - July 13, 1992 - This fixes a problem with PM heap overflow that affected several users, and fixes a problem with the sequence maximize-minimize-restore. There are also more fixes for the Japanese keyboard. Some sloppiness of positioning of the application within the PM frame is also fixed for some applications. Version 1.2.1.1 - June 24, 1992 - This fixes the keyboard mapping problem that was in the previous version. It was seen if you ran xmodmap (or xinit.cmd). A bitmap related problem also is fixed. Version 1.2.1.03 - June 19, 1992 - This version fixes a number of problems with 1.2.1. Also focus handling is MUCH closer to normal PM focus handling. If you click on a client area, the window will come to the top, for example. In 1.2.1 if you closed a window and the next window that had focus happened to be a OS/2 command window or an aixterm window, that window had the keyboard locked. This is now fixed. Support for Japanese keyboards is more correct. We found it was necessary to turn off PM support for double byte mode, so that the X application could see the correct keystrokes. A menu problem with Interleaf has been corrected. <=====================================================================> ENTRY30 LAST UPDATE: 06/30/92 Subject: TCP/IP V1.2.1 Base Kit CSD Released (UB01822) A new Base Kit CSD, UB01822, was released for TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 on 6/30/92.

If you are using TCP/IP V1.2 with the Communications Manager LAN drivers, not NDIS, and have problems after applying this CSD, this may be your problem. The IFNET.SYS driver included in the 3/26/92 Base Kit CSD was updated to resolve this problem. The original IFNET.SYS driver in the 3/26/92 TCP/IP Base Kit CSD was replaced. <=====================================================================> ENTRY14 LAST UPDATE: 05/08/92 Subject: SLIP Problems, Add MOD COMx Command to SLIP.CMD File If experiencing problems getting SLIP to access your modem, place an OS/2 MODE COMx command in the TCP/IP SLIP.CMD file prior to issuing the SET commands and SLIPCALL. The SLIP.CMD file is located in the \BIN subdirectory. An example of the mode command using IBM 7855 modems is: mode com1:19200,n,8,1 <=====================================================================> ENTRY13 LAST UPDATE: 06/02/92 Subject: New TCP/IP V1.2.1 Refresh Replaces TCP/IP V1.2 TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 became generally available in October, 1991. The announcement letter indicated support for OS/2 Version 2. This support is included in a TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 refresh, named TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2, which incorporates all previous CSD updates, the fixes required to run with OS/2 Version 2.0, improved installation utilities and updated publications. The TCP/IP V1.2.1 refresh is currently available. Please see ENTRY24 above for details on how TCP/IP V1.2 customers can obtain a free upgrade to TCP/IP V1.2.1. NOTE that you CANNOT upgrade to TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 by just applying the TCP/IP V1.2 CSDs, you MUST obtain the upgraded TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 package and reinstall the product. The TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 refresh is also available on the OS2PROD tools disk. There are also 4 revised publications and a new LAPS publication available in LIST3820 and BookManager form from OS2PROD. The TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 software on the OS2PROD tools disk does NOT include the Kerberos API software that is part of Programmer's Tool kit. This is because the Kerberos API includes DES encryption, and this function cannot be exported outside of the USA. However, all USA "shrink wrap" versions (ie. not electronically delivered) include the Kerberos API support. An IBM Systems Engineer can issue the following commands from their VM system to obtain the TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 refresh: EXEC TOOLS SENDTO KGNVMZ PCPROD OS2PROD GET <package> PACKAGE 17 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 where <package> is TCP121, TCPBASE, TCPNFS, TCPPMX, TCPX25, TCPPROG, TCPSRC or TCPDOC. To request the entire package at once, use TCP121 as the the package name. The TCP121 package only includes the 5 TCP/IP publications in BookManager format. You must request the TCPDOC package separately for the 5 publications in LIST3820 format. The TCPBASE package is a prerequisite for all other packages. TCPBASE is included in the TCP121 package.

The CSD updates, referenced in ENTRY03, can be used until a copy of TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 can be obtained. Please reference ENTRY13 and ENTRY04 for information on TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 support on OS/2 Version 2.0 and the TCP/IP V1.2.1 refresh. Some known problems when running TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 on systems running OS/2 Version 2.0 include: 1. Ethernet NDIS support does not work on IBM Ethernet/A, 3Com and Western Digital LAN adapters. 2. The X Windows server has some small errors. 3. SLIP does not work. 4. The NFS client and server do not work properly. 5. The TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 documentation does not include installation and coexistence instructions for Extended Services 18 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 for OS/2 V1.0 and LAN Requester/Server V2.0. These problems have been resolved in the TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 refresh. <=====================================================================> ENTRY11 LAST UPDATE: 04/15/92 Subject: Mounting the OS/2 NFS Server from UNIX Based TCP/IP Hosts When mounting the OS/2 NFS server from a UNIX based operating systems, you MUST specify a Read and Write buffer size that is less than 7168 bytes. The default value in the mount command for most UNIX systems is 8192 bytes. The TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 Installation and Maintenance manual, page 106, recommends using 4092 bytes for the Read and Write buffer sizes. <=====================================================================> ENTRY10 LAST UPDATE: 04/09/92 Subject: Information on X Windows Server Pseudo Color Support PMX Version 1.2.04 includes support for modifiable color tables, or pseudo color support. There are three terms that you may see in discussions of color support: color visuals, color maps, and color tables. In X Window System terminology, "color visuals" specify the types and possible depths of color maps that are supported by a specific server and display adapter combination. For example, a particular display adaptor may have a 5 bit deep visual with only 32 gray scale colors and both a 4 bit deep color visual with 16 colors, and an 8 bit deep color visuals with 256 colors. In X terms a "color map" is a specific table containing specific colors that can be used in drawing in a window. These are called "color tables" in Presentation Manager. There are two color visuals supported by PMX, StaticColor and PseudoColor. In each case the visuals are only screen deep. That is, if a display supports 256 colors, the tables PMX supports are always 256 colors in size. The simpler StaticColor table cannot have its colors changed. In X terms there is only one such table available, and it contains the colors that are in the default physical color table of the display. If the screen is EGA or VGA it has 16 colors and is 4 bits deep. If the screen is 8514, XGA, or Image Adaptor it has 256 color and is 8 bits deep. Presentation Manager (and therefore PMX) supports this type of color table for all displays. Presentation Manager and PMX also supports modifiable color tables. This type of "visual" is called a PseudoColor visual in X. This type of color table is supported by Presentation Manager for the 8514, XGA and Image Adaptor display adaptors. This type of color table is called a "realizable" color table. For this type of table, if the application selects it, it can allocate colors in the default PseudoColor color table until it has no more room for colors, and it may create new PseudoColor color tables whose contents the application may control. 19 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 If the user does not specify on the PMX command that a specific type of color table is to be used, then PMX queries Presentation Manager to see if the display supports PseudoColor. Based on that information, either PseudoColor or StaticColor is the only type supported by PMX by default. If the user knows that the display device driver really does support "realizable color tables" he may specify "-pseudocolor" on the PMX command. This will override what PM tells PMX. In the case of some Image Adaptor device drivers, this is necessary, since they do not tell Presentation Manager that they in fact do support realizable color tables. <=====================================================================> ENTRY09 LAST UPDATE: 04/02/92 Subject: List of New Functions Included in TCP/IP CSDs Several new functions have been added to TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 since the announcement letter, documentation and Generally Available code distribution. To use these new functions, please apply the current CSD updates to the Base and X Windows kits. The new functions are: 1. LPR/LPD have been enhanced and support has been added to receive special parameters from clients in the control file. These parameters are then placed into the appropriate printer parameter fields. This allows direct manipulation of Queue, Spooler and Network parameters. When LPD receives control file entries of the following formats, the information associated with these entries are placed in the corresponding Print Job fields. See documentation on "SplQmOpen()" for additional information. Parameter Print Job field ----------- --------------- --Q<params> QueueProcParams --S<params> SpoolerParams --N<params> NetworkParams --?<params> QueueProcParams ( where ? != 'N|Q|S') -<params> QueueProcParams -<-params> QueueProcParams For example, to have LPR send the file CONFIG.SYS to the default printer server, default queue, and print 2 copies, you would enter: lpr -b config.sys --QCOP=2 Refer to the documentation for your particular queue, spooler, and network drivers for parameters and their meaning. 2. The current CSD release of the X Windows server, Version 1.2.04 or PMX V1.2.04, now supports modifiable color tables, or pseudo color support. The modifiable color table facilities are ON by default, however, by specifying -static the X Windows server will 20 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 use static color tables. PMX automatically uses the modifiable color tables of Presentation Manager (PM), if PM has set the bit that indicates the display device driver supports it. The results are that you will see colors on the screen change, if the X applications you use change the colors on the screen. PMX will reset the colors back to normal when it exits. Also, if you switch to a full screen session and back to PM, PM will recalculate its colors so that everything is back to approximately normal, given the limitations on what is now in the physical color table. Presentation Manager will also do this when the user selects the "refresh" option on the PMX server "command" menu. 3. The X Windows server now provides National Language Support (NLS), and subsequent support for non-USA keyboards. The keyboard handling has been changed to be identical to that for the RS/6000 or the Xstation keyboards. That is, the XMODMAP files that modify how the keyboard is treated for the RS6000 can also be used with PMX without change. Note that if you have old XMODMAP files, for versions of PMX previous to 1.2.02, they may NO LONGER WORK. <=====================================================================> ENTRY08 LAST UPDATE: 04/02/92 Subject: DIR or LS Output Incorrect from FTP Client to AS/400 FTP Server When using the TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 FTP client to an AS/400 FTP server, the output from DIR or LS commands to list directory files does not display correctly. The output is readable but the columns do not line up properly. AS/400 TCP/IP has a closed APAR, SA20844, to add CRLF (Carriage Return, Line Feed) when its FTP server is responding to a DIR or LS command. The AS/400 FTP server was only sending LF and this caused problems with the FTP clients in TCP/IP V2.0 for DOS and TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2. Please contact the IBM Support Center to get the appropriate PTF for AS/400 TCP/IP. <=====================================================================> ENTRY07 LAST UPDATE: 06/02/92 Subject: New Base, NFS, X Windows, Programmer's Toolkit CSDs Available Note that applying these CSDs to the TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 product does NOT get you to the same level of software as the new TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 refresh. All TCP/IP V1.2 users should get the free upgrade to TCP/IP V1.2.1. See ENTRY24 above for details. New CSD updates for the TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 Base kit, NFS kit, X Windows kit and Programmer's Tool kit are now available. These CSDs are cumulative and include ALL currently available fixes.

They do, however, work with the previous TCP/IP V1.1 for OS/2 release. This problem was fixed in MVS/DFP APAR OY50604, which provides MVSLOGIN, MVSLOGUT and SHOWATTR command support for IBM TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2. Please contact the IBM Support Center to get the PTF for APAR OY50604 which will provide new MVSLOGIN, MVSLOGUT and SHOWATTR modules. You can use the MVSLOGIN and MVSLOGUT commands shipped with TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 as long as you follow the SET procedure described in ENTRY05 below. Note that you MUST follow this SET procedure even with the updated MVSLOGIN and MVSLOGUT modules from OY50604. For the SHOWATTR command to work, you MUST get OY50604. <=====================================================================> ENTRY05 LAST UPDATE: 03/06/92 Subject: UID and GID Value -2 When Mounting MVS NFS server When accessing an IBM MVS NFS server, the UID and GID values must be set to -2. This applies to both the NFS server included with IBM TCP/IP V1 for MVS and the NFS server function included with the MVS/DFP that works in conjunction with IBM TCP/IP V2 for MVS. If the UID and GID values are not -2, then you will receive the error message: sysb returned error 22: error 0. when attempting to issue the MVSLOGIN command. Note that the NFS 24 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 MOUNT command may be successful even if you do NOT specify -2 for UID and GID. To resolve this problem, you must set the UID and GID values using the OS/2 SET command. The UID and GID values MUST be set as described here even though this information is NOT documented in the TCP/IP V1.1 for OS/2 or TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 manuals. It applies to both the NFS server included with MVS TCP/IP V1 and the NFS server in MVS DFP. Please type the following two commands prior to issuing the MOUNT or MVSLOGIN command: set unix.uid=-2 set unix.gid=-2 Note that these two commands can be included in CONFIG.SYS so that you do NOT have to issue them prior to accessing the MVS NFS server. Then issue the MOUNT and MVSLOGIN commands using the following examples: mount x: sysb:myuserid,text,crlf mvslogin sysb myuserid This mount example mounts the MVS system as text, with carriage return and line feeds, which is needed for editing text files. You should specify BINARY instead of TEXT, when accessing load modules. An example for binary or executable files is: mount y: mvstcp:myuserid,binary <=====================================================================> ENTRY04 LAST UPDATE: 06/02/92 Subject: Service Registration Form Information Please review the READ.ME file, included with the TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 Base kit, for instructions on how to complete the Service Registration Form. The TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 package does NOT include a Service Registration Number. Just leave this field blank. The READ.ME file contains the mailing address for the Service Registration Form. The customer should fill out the form with their name and address. Leave the registration number blank so when TCP/IP Development releases a CSD or code refresh the customer can be contacted. A refresh of TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 is currently planned for May 29th, 1992. This update will be called TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 and will include all previous CSD updates, the fixes required to run with OS/2 Version 2.0, improved installation tools and updated publications. All TCP/IP V1.2 users that have mailed in their Service Registration form will receive a letter indicating that they can receive a free upgrade to TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2. See ENTRY24 above for details. <=====================================================================> ENTRY03 LAST UPDATE: 06/15/92 25 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 Subject: How to Obtain Old TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 CSD Updates TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 Corrective Service Diskettes, which contain fixes for any errors found with IBM TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2, are available from two sources. First, a customer can contact the IBM Support Center at 1-800-237-5511 and ask to be queued to TCP/IP Level 2 support for the IBM TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 product. The CSDs are also available electronically from IBM through the RALVMM request disk. There are 4 CSD's available for TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2. Each CSD is for a separate kit. See ENTRY27 above for information on how to obtain the CSDs for the TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 refresh product. NOTE you CANNOT upgrade to TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 by applying the TCP/IP V1.2 CSDs, you MUST obtain the upgraded TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 package and reinstall the product. An IBM SE can request the old CSD updates for the TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 product by issuing the following commands from VM: To get the TCP V1.2 Base kit CSD issue: REQUEST BASEBCSD FROM OS2TCPIP AT RALVMM To get the TCP V1.2 NFS kit CSD issue: REQUEST NFSBCSD FROM OS2TCPIP AT RALVMM To get the TCP V1.2 X Server kit CSD issue: REQUEST PMXBCSD FROM OS2TCPIP AT RALVMM To get the TCP V1.2 Programmer's Toolkit CSD issue: REQUEST PROGBCSD FROM OS2TCPIP AT RALVMM <=====================================================================> ENTRY02 LAST UPDATE: 07/30/92 Subject: NDIS MAC Drivers Included in TCP/IP Base Kit TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 includes support for Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) MAC drivers. The TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 Base kit includes NDIS MAC drivers for the following LAN adapters: IBM PC Network Adapter II IBM PC Network Adapter II/Advanced IBM PS/2 Adapter/A for Ethernet (P/N 79F3330) IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter II IBM Token-Ring Network Adapter/A IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter IBM Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter/A IBM Token-Ring Busmaster Server Adapter/A 3COM Etherlink II Adapter 3COM Etherlink/MC (Model 3C523) 26 Item 36338 Document ID Q585794 Western Digital Ethercard PLUS Adapter Western Digital Ethercard PLUS/A Adapter Ungermann-Bass NIUps/2 Adapter (Model PC3030) Ungermann-Bass NIUpc Adapter (Model PC2030) LAN adapters not included in this list, that are fully compliant with NDIS, should be compatible with TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2. TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 also includes the NDIS MAC driver for the 3270 Connection adapter, for LAN over coax support. Review ENTRY22 above for details. <=====================================================================> ENTRY01 LAST UPDATE: 07/30/92 Subject: TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 Marketing and Technical Overview Pubs Two publications, TCP/IP V1.2 for OS/2 Presentation Guide and TCP/IP V1.2.1 for OS/2 Technical Overview, are available on the IBM MKTTOOLS disk.
