Setup OS/2 Peer in an NT domain

The following steps should be followed to allow an OS/2 machine to log in to an NT domain and access resources. First, the following is assumed:

The OS/2 Warp CD is in the machine's CDROM drive.
The user is familiar with the basic functionality and use of OS/2.
The user knows the values for the machine's hostname, machinename, IP address, subnet mask, DNS, etc.
Either the network card in the machine is already configured, or the user knows what type of card is in the machine, and has the drivers for it.
The NT server is using WINS as its (for lack of a better term) peer protocol.
The machine is running OS/2 Warp 4. Setting up OS/2 Peer in an NT domain is possible with OS/2 Warp 3, and can be done following most of the steps listed below. However, the screenshots and steps do not match exactly, and it is NOT noted where these differences in setup occur.
The TCP/IP screenshots were made with version 4.0 of the TCP/IP stack. Version 4.1 of the TCP/IP stack is slightly different.

For all of the stages below, please insert the OS/2 Warp CD.

Install File and Print Client and TCP/IP Services
1. In the System Setup folder, open the Install/Remove folder.
2. Select Selective Install for Networking.
3. Select Advanced Installation and click Next .
4. Select File and Print Client (if not already installed).
5. Select TCP/IP Services (if not already installed). NOTE:If both File and Print Client and TCP/IP Services are already installed, then click Previous and Exit and skip to Configure MPTS
6. Click Next.
7. On the Configuration window, please configure all that apply. For example, if TCP/IP Services was not checked above because it was already installed, then the configuration information for TCP/IP will not need to be entered.
  File and Print Sharing Services. Enter the following information:
  1. Workstation name - the name for the workstation as it will be known on the peer network. Typically, it is the same as the TCP/IP hostname.
  2. Installation drive - local drive on which to install the files.
  3. Workstation description - the description for the machine.
  4. Domain name - the name of the NT domain that the machine will be logging into.
  5. Check Install LAN Server Administration.
  6. Check Install Sharing.
  7. Un-check Delete UserID database (NET.ACC) if you would like to create a new UserID.
  Network Adapters for File and Print Sharing. Enter the following information:
  1. If an adapter, or adapters, is listed, please select the one that will be used for connecting to the NT domain.
  2. If no adapter is listed, please install one in the Network Adapters and Protocol Services section, and then return to this section.
  UserID and Password. Enter the following information:
  1. Userid - default administrator-level userid for this OS/2 machine. You can also use your userid for the NT domain.
  2. Password - password for the default userid.
  3. Verify Password - password for the default userid, re-typed.
  TCP/IP Services. Enter the following information:
  1. Un-check DHCP Server is available on the LAN.
  2. TCP/IP address - the machine's IP address.
  3. Subnet mask - usually 255.255.255.0.
  4. Router - IP address of the machine's default router, or gateway.
  5. Host Name - the machine's hostname.
  6. TCP/IP Domain Name - the machine's domain name.
  7. Name Server - IP address of the machine's default name server, or DNS.
  Network Adapters and Protocol Services . Enter the following information:
  1. If no adapter is listed in the Current Configuration, or the adapter listed is incorrect, select Add adapter... and add the driver for the correct network adapter.
  2. If IBM OS/2 NETBIOS, IBM TCP/IP, and IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP are not listed in the Current Configuration, select Add protocol... and add any that are missing.
  3. For IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP, make sure that the network number at the beginning of the line is one more than the other entries. If not, select Change number... and change the number.
8. Click Install. Click OK on any messages about NetBIOS parameters being tuned. Also, when prompted, allow the machine to shutdown and be rebooted.
9. After the machine reboots and finishes copying files, File and Print Client and TCP/IP Services will be installed.
Configure MPTS
1. In the System Setup folder, select MPTS, or type mpts from an OS/2 command line.
2. Select Configure.
3. Select LAN adapters and protocols and select Configure.
4. If no adapter is listed in the Current Configuration, or the adapter listed is incorrect, select Add in the Network Adapters section and add the driver for the correct network adapter.
5. If IBM OS/2 NETBIOS, IBM TCP/IP, and IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP are not listed in the Current Configuration, select Add in the Protocols section and add any that are missing.
6. For IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP, make sure that the network number at the beginning of the line is one more than the other entries. If not, select IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP, select Change number..., and change the number.
  
  NOTE: This protocol is required if your NT domain is on a different subnet. If the NT domain is in the same subnet (for example, the machines are plugged into the same hub), then you may omit this protocol.
7. For IBM OS/2 NETBIOS, no additional configuration is needed.
8. For IBM TCP/IP, no additional configuration is needed.
9. Select IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP and select Edit.
10. Select Driver paramters and select Configure.
11. For Parameters for IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP, enter the following information:
  1. Node Type - H-Node is usually the best bet. Check the online help for a list of choices and their definitions.
  2. NetBIOS Name Server address - IP address of the primary WINS server.
  3. Backup NetBIOS Name Server address - IP address of the secondary WINS server.
  4. NetBIOS Datagram Distributor address - IP address of the primary WINS server.
  5. Backup NetBIOS Datagram Distributor address - IP address of the secondary WINS server.
  6. Maximum number of name-ip address pairs in names file - any number will do. I usually use 20.
  7. Click OK.

13. For Names List, select Add and enter the following information for any NT machines whose shares you frequently access:
  1. NetBIOS name prefix - machine name for the NT machine.
  2. Host name of IP address - hostname or IP address for the NT machine.
  3. Click OK when done.
14. Select Broadcast list and select Configure.
15. For Broadcast List, select Add and enter the hostname or IP addresses for the primary and secondary WINS servers. These entries are especially important if you chose H-Node or P-Node as the node type.
16. Click OK when done.
17. Click Close.
18. Click OK.
19. Click Close.
20. Click Exit.
21. Check Update CONFIG.SYS and click Exit.
22. Click OK.
23. Click Exit.
24. If IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP is one of the protocols used by this machine, edit x:\IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI where x: is the drive on which File and Print Client was installed. Ensure that the following lines are somewhere in the file:
```
  net1 = NETBEUI$,0,LM10,100,150,14
  net2 = TCPBEUI$,1,LM10,102,175,14

  wrknets = NET1,NET2

  srvnets = NET1,NET2
```
  In the net1 = and net2 = lines, the values for the last four entries are not important. However, the first two values should appear as they do above. For the wrknets = and srvnets = lines, ensure that both NET1 and NET2 are there.
25. If TCP/IP Services has already been configured, reboot your machine for the changes to take effect.
