Hello Lewis:

On the box with one each of a wireless and a
wired NIC, I deinstalled the two NICs in MPTS
but now get the message:

"
Protocol Managaer Not Installed.
NET3406 An error occurred while opening network
device driver NET1=NETBIOS.

SYS1719:  The file C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200
specified in the IFS statement on line 36 of the
config.sys file does not contain a valid device
driver or file system driver.
Line 36 is ignored.
"

This is a bug in eCS (I recently raised a ticket on this) - it's been around a while. If you de-install a card in MPTS that uses Netbios over IP (or, I am guessing NetBEUI), the little popup program comes up and shows no cards supporting TCPBeui and when you click OK it says the config has been updated - unfortunately it doed not remove or Rem out two lines in Config.sys

DEVICE=C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\RDRHELP.200
and
IFS=C:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 /I:C:\IBMLAN /N

(I think if you had Netbios also loaded, it wotld probably miss this one as well)
DEVICE=C:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBIOS.OS2

The work around is simple - go into config.sys and put rem space at the start of each of these lines.




I would prefer not to deinstall and reinstall MPTS
because I've had difficulty with it in the past.
When I deinstalled the two NICs, I of course had
to remove each protocol before removing the NIC.
Is there something in IBMLAN.INI or config.sys
that I should change that would likely fix this?

On a second box I have the NIC loading fine
according to the verbose boot information but then
am stopped by:

    "ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument"

and have to hit ENTER to continue.  I recall
searching for SIOCAIFADDR in all of the DLLs and
SYS and other files I could think of since it was
likely present in ASCII text.  I found it that way
and was able to solve a similar problem previously
as a result.  But, I seem to have saved the
information in that secret place where I "save" so
much valuable material for future reference.

This is an error in \MPTN\BIN\SETUP.CMD - post the contents (cut and paste) here and we'll sort out what has to be changed. Alternatively, if this second system is running Netbios or TCPBEUI, the cleaner way to fix up all the files is to run laninst.exe which is in \ibmlan\install, go through the tailored route and check everything is set as you want it. I also normally also go then into TCPCFG2 and check also that the correct TCPIP ports are configured as I want them. A reboot after these two steps and "normally" everything is OK.

Any thoughts?  Or, have I provided far too little
background information?

TIA,

- Mark
