Hi,
I'm having a real hard time getting a slip or ppp connection to the
Internet, and got no-one to ask/bounce ideas off. Well, I resorted to
reinstalling Warp4 from CD onto a new partition without any fixpaks.
When I boot the original config.sys, no problems. If I sort the
config.sys with cnfgsort then the boot crashes. I narrowed it down to
the device AFINET.SYS. I think it's not compatible with IFNDIS.SYS.
Do these two devices need to be placed in the config.sys in any specific
order?
One problem is the lack of documentation or books on Warp4. What
are these 2 drivers? What do they do? Does it hurt to rem-out one or
both drivers? The command help doesn't help either :(
Then a more general question. When installing Warp4 and I want to have
dial-up internet access, is it only necessary for me to choose Network
Adaptors & Protocols and select no adaptor to have everything I need for
a dial-up internet connection?
Sometimes the IBM Dialer just won't dial out and then at other times I
can dial and make a connection (depending on which setup I've got
installed). The line then either then immediately disconnects or has
loads of errors. I just don't think my script file works. When I'm
calling a PPP connection I need to be in text mode until I get a shell
prompt so I can then enter 'PPP'. Somehow I never make it although I
think I get logged in ok. A simple, sample script might help. Mine
looks exactly like the one given in the help screen when creating it.
How to grab my and my hosts addresses in the script after entering PPP
mode? Somehow I suspect the sample given in the help isn't working for
me. The sample REXX programs supplied with Warp are all gobble-de-gook
to me, they don't seem to work either, when I try to modify them.
IBM's VCOM.SYS doesn't seem to work at all with my GTEK Cyclone-6
multiport serial card, although thankfully SIO.SYS comes to the rescue.
I tried In-Joy. It has more successful dial-outs but the same 100%
failure at being able to succesfully connect to the internet (although
that may not be In-Joy's fault).
Rgds,
Stewart
