I am installing a test version of IBM's OS/2 TCP/IP. The old version not
the new that will be available this month. I am having some problems.
Please help! If this test goes well, we may order several copies of the
new version.
I am installing the software on a PS/2 16Mz Model 70. The PC has an
Ungerman Bass NIUps board in it. I have edited the PROTOCOL.INI file in
CMLIB and changed BINDINGS=TCMAC2 to be BINDINGS=UBMAC. The defaults are
Memorywindow=D8000, IO_port= 0x350, and IRQ=4. These numbers do not
work. When I boot the system, I get the following messages:
UBMAC$: Intionalization started
UBMAC: Either there are no enabled NIUps adapters, or they are all
reserved by other UBMAC$ drivers.
UBMAC: Initionalization failed
Etherand Network support is being initialized.
After getting up, TCPSTART fails because INET does not come up.
The D8000 is not even the default for the UB card. Its default is D0000,
which can be changed to D8000. The IRQ default for the card is 3 and the
IO_port default is 1550h. The card will not let reset the IRQ! The card
will only use IO_ports of 1550, 1554, 1558, and 1562. The card uses
groups of four I/O ports. I can't use any of these addresses because I
get an invalid IO_PORT specification. When I try and change the default
port value in PROTOCOL.INI from 0x350 to 0x1550, UBMAC complains at boot
time of an invalid value.
I have this PC and card working fine in the DOS window with NCSA. In
NCSA, the I/O port is allowed to be 1550, the memory window has to be
whatever the card is configured for, and the IRQ value is three. If
anyone has any experience with this configuration or even some ideas let
me know.
I have the following in config.sys:
DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\LANDD.SYS
DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\PROTMAN.OS2 /I:C:\CMLIB
DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\UBNIUDRV.OS2
DEVICE=C:\CMLIB\ETHERDD.SYS CFG=C:\CMLIB\JAY.CFG
RUN=C:\CMLIB\ACSEPSYS.EXE
RUN=C:\CMLIB|NETBIND.EXE
In JAY.CFG, I have changed the defaults to be:
Transmit Buffer Size.....1496.
Receive Buffer Size.......256.
Minimum Receive Buffers....25.
Number of Queue Elements..800.
If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I am also trying to get this beast
to work on a PS2 Model 55SX with a 3COM card. In this case no changes
have to be made to PROTOCOL.INI, and it comes up with out error
messages. INET still fails with the message that it could not find

I think if you put the IRQ, memory window, and I/O port information back to the defaults you will be OK (there is more to do if you are using 2 ethernet adapters). You should also be sure the CONFIG.SYS has the following DEVICE and RUN statements. Example: DEVICE=LANDD.SYS DEVICE=PROTMAN.OS2 /I:\CMLIB DEVICE=UBNIUDRV.OS2 DEVICE=ETHERDD.SYS CFG=YourConfig.CFG RUN=ACSEPSYS.EXE RUN=NETBIND.EXE Where YourConfig.CFG is a copy of CMLIB\ACSFGUS.CFG with the following modifications (everything else defaults): Transmit Buffer Size.....1496. Receive Buffer Size.......256. Minimum Receive Buffers....25. Paul Seifert TCP/IP Development & Test Research Triangle Park, NC
