    I have a question

    Do you run OS2??

    I have played with it from time to time and I have it running on a VM and
    want to do a few things, run FD2, I have it all setup but I cannot figure out how to set it up with a DNS, cannot get binkp to call out with a domain name

    ideas??

    Thanx

    If you have it set to get IP information via DHCP then you should not have any issues whatsoever. What version of OS/2 are you running?

    Sorry I don't recall... don't want to reboot to see if it says on boot up. It's 4.?? something...

    Anyway... I am close but no cigar...

    I have a question

    Do you run OS2??

    Yes, under VMWare on one of our servers.



    I have played with it from time to time and I have it running on a VM
    and
    want to do a few things, run FD2, I have it all setup but I cannot

    Here I run InternetRex under OS/2, InterMail, Gecho, AllFix, and some other utilities under OS/2's DOS.


    figure out
    how to set it up with a DNS, cannot get binkp to call out with a domain
    name

    ideas??


    Since mine is behind a NAT firewall/router, I've never bothered with any form of DNS specifically for it, just my ISP supplied 'real-world' ip, and let the router take care of internal matters. And I internally addresss it by using the internal ip.

    that would have been done when you set up the NIC with the tcp/ip protocol... aside from that, you might be able to get it to work by editing

    c:\mptn\etc\resolv and c:\mptn\etc\resolv2

    IIRC, resolv is for the DOS side and may not exist... it doesn't on my eCS but it did on my warp3... resolv2 is for the OS/2 side...

    mine has only two lines in it... the first is for my internal domain extension... this must not collide with any public ones... it is only your internal top level domain... the second line is the one defining the nameserver... i use only one because my perimeter firewall handles all that so all my machine look only to my perimeter firewall's internal address for their DNS lookups... i think there can be more than one nameserver line, each with a different IP address... the top one is the main one used... the other(s) only if/when the top one fails...


    eg resolv2:
    ===== snip =====
    domain local
    nameserver 192.168.0.1
    ===== snip =====


    with the above, i could use wrkstn1 or wrkstn1.local to access the internal workstation flying the host name of wrkstn1... the ".local" part comes from the
    domain line... the dns server is on 192.168.0.1... in my case, that's my perimeter firewall... it might be your modem or router or whatever you are using...

    Good morning Mark and Joe,

    I am just trying to figure out how to get my os/2 VM to reconize a
    DNS

    my eCS but it did on my warp3... resolv2 is for the OS/2 side...

    In my OS/2 system there is just one RESOLV in that directory.

    mine has only two lines in it... the first is for my internal domain extension... this must not collide with any public ones...

    Same contents in my resolv file.


    Have a nice day,

    Holger
