Finally brought my ThinkPad 701C home long enough to work with in on
my network. Found that I was not able to update/transfer files (TP to my
other OS/2 machines) through FileStar or an OS/2 window. The
communicating computer - either TP, WarpServer (P200) or my Warp 4
(P233) would hang for various periods of time. Narrowed it down to only
if doing transfers via Netbios (that included mapping a drive and
reading directories).
If I ftp to or from the TP, I can send/receive 3-13 meg files with no
problems, so that would indicate problems with the TP, my Home and Away
adapter and NETBIOS, nothing else. When a 'dir' or transfer fails, the
time out varies form 80 sec to 8 minutes. Strangest thing, is that I
have no problems AT ALL to the W95 machine on my network - it never
failed with any transfers.
Any ideas would be appreciated, as that is now my hot button for this
weekend. Netbios settings in 'protocol.ini' and 'ibmlan.ini' have been
left at default, and my other OS/2 machines do not have a problem
communicating/transferring, etc. only the TP.
TP has 3.1G drive, 40M and is DX4-75. Don't seem to have problems
running any applications. It is loaded with Warp 4 and has FP6 applied.
Don,t know of a 'network' group to send this too, they might have some
instant (reasonably) answers about netbios settings in 'protocol.ini' or
other things.
