Hi Leon,

Yes, your name is well known to me from the Yahoo OS/2 groups. :-)

I am currently in the middle of recovering (a clone of) a JFS drive [was 
last (standalone - non-spanned) volume on another "destroyed by 
lightning up the ADSL-line" machine, having to learn which bytes/bits in 
the boot-sector of that JFS drive are significant, outside of the BIOS 
Parameter Block, as the boot-sector [only!] got filled with 512 'F6' 
entries (somehow!), but as I had peripherals in a number of systems 
destroyed [via CAT5 route], I ended up with an undamaged HDD which I 
relocated to this machine.

Both machines previously had working Realtek 8139 NICs, although I 
didn't find out until later that they are slightly different to one 
another. I was able to boot two particular eCS volumes, 1.13 and 1.05 
OK, had TCP/IP access on both, but couldn't get the requester started on 
either.

I ended up reinstalling MPTS on the 1.13 volume, and this time via the 
Selective networking installation, I chose the LS component instead of 
Peer - had NetBIOS and the LAN up and running in addition to TCP/IP.

On this volume [1.05], I almost went the same route, but decided to just 
try replacing the e:\ibmlan\net.acc with the dummy one in 
e:\ibmlan\install - LAN back up and running again - just recreated the 
(now-updated) shares!

Maybe that procedure will help?

Regards,
Mike
