- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Overview of the TCP/IP for OS/2 Kits ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- TCP/IP for OS/2 is packaged in kits; a Base Kit and several component kits.
-
- The Base Kit provides the protocol stack necessary to support all the functions
- of TCP/IP for OS/2. It also provides a base set of applications, including
- telnet, ftp, and sendmail. There are other products that provide the same
- protocol stack. Therefore, TCP/IP for OS/2 has been designed to allow you to
- install the component kits either on the TCP/IP for OS/2 Base Kit or on another
- product that provides the necessary protocol stack.
-
- The component kits available for TCP/IP for OS/2 are:
-
- o Applications Kit
- o Domain Name Server Kit
- o DOS/Windows Access Kit
- o Extended Networking Kit
- o OSF/Motif Kit
- o Network File Server Kit
- o Programmer's Toolkit
- o X Window System Server Kit
- o X Window System Client Kit
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Applications Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Applications Kit provides the TCP/IP for OS/2 applications included in the
- Base Kit without the underlying TCP/IP protocol stack.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Domain Name Server Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Domain Name Server Kit provides support for a hierarchical naming system
- for naming hosts, allowing system administrators to name local domains with in
- an internet.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. DOS/Windows Access Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The DOS/Windows Access Kit enables DOS or Windows** TCP/IP user-written
- applications that use the WinSock API to run over an OS/2 environment through
- TCP/IP for OS/2. This kit also enables character-based DOS applications, which
- have been written to the programming interfaces of IBM TCP/IP for DOS, to run
- in an OS/2 DOS session.
-
- The DOS/Windows Access Kit requires OS/2 Version 2.1 or later.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. Extended Networking Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Extended Networking Kit enables you to install and configure an X.25 or
- SNALINK interface.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. OSF/Motif Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The OSF/Motif** Kit is comprised of two parts; the OSF/Motif Runtime Services
- and the OSF/Motif Programmer's Toolkit. The Runtime Services provide the DLLs
- that enable users to run Motif applications on OS/2. The Programmer's Toolkit
- provides the standard OSF/Motif widgets and header files that enable users to
- create Motif applications on OS/2.
-
- The Motif Kit requires the X Window Client Kit and the TCP/IP Programmer's
- Toolkit.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.6. Network File Server Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Network File Server** Kit enables you to share drive resources across
- networks as if the resources were local. It uses the User Datagram Protocol
- (UDP) for communication between clients and servers.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.7. Programmer's Toolkit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Programmer's Toolkit provides routines for application programming in
- TCP/IP for OS/2. These routines include sockets, RPCs, the File Transfer
- Protocol (FTP) application programming interface (API), and the Simple Network
- Management Protocol (SNMP) distributed programming interface. These routines
- use the 32-bit compiler, IBM C Set/2 Version 1.0.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.8. X Window System Server Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The X Window System** Server Kit enables you to display and control X Window
- System client applications in an OS/2 Presentation Manager windowed session.
- Because the X Window System server uses OS/2 Presentation Manager as the window
- manager, it supports all of the keyboard, display, and pointer devices that are
- supported by OS/2 Presentation Manager.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.9. X Window System Client Kit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The X Window System** Client Kit is comprised of two parts; the X Window System
- Client Runtime Services and the X Window System Client Programmer's Toolkit.
- The Runtime Services provide the DLLs that enable users to run X Window
- applications on OS/2. The Programmer's Toolkit provides the standard X Window
- System APIs from the MIT Consortium that enable users to create X Window
- applications for OS/2 or to port X Window applications from other platforms.
-
- The X Window Client Kit requires the TCP/IP Programmer's Toolkit.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Base Directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you want to install TCP/IP for OS/2 to a directory other than the default
- directory, specify the target drive and directory in the Base directory for the
- installation field. For example, D:\TCPIP , where D is the target drive and
- TCPIP is the name of the target directory on that drive.
-
- Ensure that the directory specified is located on a drive that has enough free
- disk space to store all the TCP/IP kits that you want to install. The required
- disk space for each kit is noted in parentheses beside the kit name on the
- TCP/IP Installation Tool window. If you already have components of TCP/IP for
- OS/2 installed on your workstation, we recommend that you install any
- additional components to the same base directory.
-
- Note: If you are installing a TCP/IP customer service diskette, specify the
- same directory that was used for the original installation.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Update CONFIG.SYS ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- In most cases, you will want TCP/IP to update your CONFIG.SYS, however if you
- do not want TCP/IP to make the necessary changes to the PATH, LIBPATH, HELP,
- and other statements in your CONFIG.SYS, deselect Update CONFIG.SYS.
-
- If TCP/IP updates your CONFIG.SYS, your current CONFIG.SYS is saved to a file
- called CONFIG.TCP. If TCP/IP does not update your CONFIG.SYS, it makes a copy
- of your CONFIG.SYS, modifies the copy and saves it to CONFIG.TCP.
-
- Note: If the necessary modifications are not made to your CONFIG.SYS, you will
- not be able to access the TCP/IP configuration notebook.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Configure network connection ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you are installing the Base Kit, you need to configure your network
- connection. To create a basic network configuration, select this check box and
- enter information in the following fields:
-
- o Host name
- o IP address
- o Subnet mask
- o Router IP address
-
- If you have an existing TCP/IP already installed, the basic network
- configuration information will be migrated. Therefore, you do not need to
- select this check box or fill in the associated fields.
-
- If you do not create your basic network configuration during installation, or
- if any of the information changes, you can use the TCP/IP configuration
- notebook to create or modify the basic network configuration.
-
- Note: This field is not available if you have not selected to install the Base
- Kit.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. LAN Adapter and Protocol Support (LAPS) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- TCP/IP requires the TCP/IP network driver provided by the current version of
- LAPS. Unless you have a current version of LAPS and an existing TCP/IP already
- installed, you need to install and configure LAPS.
-
- Select this check box to install and configure LAPS as part of this TCP/IP
- installation. When you have completed the fields on this window and select
- Install, you will be prompted to insert the LAPS diskette. The TCP/IP
- installation program will invoke the LAPS installation and configuration
- program.
-
- When you install and configure LAPS, your CONFIG.SYS is modified. Your current
- CONFIG.SYS is saved to a file called CONFIG.LAP.
-
- Warning: When you install and configure LAPS, your current PROTOCOL.INI file is
- replaced. Therefore, ensure that you configure each protocol for each adapter.
-
- Note: This field is not available if you have not selected to install the Base
- Kit.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Host Name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Your host name is the unique name assigned to your workstation. It is provided
- by your network administrator, and can be 1 to 30 alphanumeric characters. It
- cannot contain blanks or special characters.
-
- This field is optional. However, if you do not provide a host name at
- installation, you will need to use the TCP/IP configuration notebook to specify
- a host name before you can use TCP/IP.
-
- Note: This field is not available if you have not selected Configure network
- connection.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. IP Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Your Internet Protocol (IP) address is the unique internet address assigned to
- your workstation. It is provided by your network administrator, and is in the
- format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
-
- This field is optional. However, if you do not provide an IP address at
- installation, you will need to use the TCP/IP configuration notebook to specify
- an IP address before you can use TCP/IP.
-
- Note: This field is not available if you have not selected Configure network
- connection.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Subnet Mask ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Your subnet mask is a mask used to separate the subnet address from the host
- portion of the address. It is provided by your network administrator, and is in
- the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn. Each nnn is one of the following: 255, 254, 252,
- 248, 240, 224, 192, 128, or 0. If one of the numbers in the subnet mask is not
- 255, the numbers that follow must all be 0.
-
- This field is optional. If you do not provide a subnet mask, the default
- netmask for the class of your IP address is used. You can use the TCP/IP
- configuration notebook to modify your subnet mask after installation.
-
- Note: This field is not available if you have not selected Configure network
- connection.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Router IP Address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Your router IP address is a the internet address of your default router or
- gateway. A router allows your workstation to communicate with other hosts that
- are not on your local area network (LAN). Your router IP address is provided by
- your network administrator, and is in the format of nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
-
- This field is optional. However, if you do not provide a router IP address,
- you will need to use the TCP/IP configuration notebook to specify a router IP
- address before you can communicate with hosts that are on other LANs.
-
- Note: This field is not available if you have not selected Configure network
- connection.
