#SW_FirstTime.MLE_NETBIOSSelectiveInstall|Value#
You will be using an IBM supplied network installation program to install and configure your Netbios networking services.   You will see the term "Warp Server for e-business" displayed by this program.   Rest assured, it IS the correct version for eComStation.

If you are running a pure TCP/IP network and do not wish to install Netbios networking services, select "TCP/IP Only" below to install device driver for your network interface card (NIC).   If you are running a Netbios network (including Netbios over TCP/IP), DO NOT select "TCP/IP Only" - select "Execute" to install Netbios network AND the device driver which is needed for your TCP/IP to work properly.

If you select "Execute", you will see the main screen of the Netbios network installer.   At the main selection window of the network installer, UNCHECK the checkbox for "TCP/IP Services".    The selective install for TCP/IP Services is error prone and tends to lockup.  TCP/IP has been installed in your system by the eCS installer already.

In addition, you can UNCHECK the checkbox for "Netscape".   Ignore the warning message that appears.  The version of Netscape installed this way is an old version.   At the end of the installation, when installing eCS Bonus Packages, you will have a chance to install a refreshed version of Netscape 4.61 which incorporated a number of bug fixes.

With this version of eCS, you DO have to re-install the "File and Print Sharing Services" eventhough the "Current Status" of this component would be listed as Current Version.   The installed components in your system is incomplete and must be completed through this selection.

When you invoke the selective install for networking, you will be asked to specify a number of settings.

At the Configuration screen, you should start from the bottom of the selection tree (with option: "Network Adapters and Protocol Services") and work your way up the tree - towards "File and Print Sharing Services".

   - Network Adapters and Protocol Services

To install the proper network adapter driver for your system, select "Change adapter" and select the appropriate driver.  You should also check to see if the directory \\eCS\\Drivers\\NIC exists in  the eCS installation CD #3.   If that directory exists, you might find some additional NIC drivers in there.

If you don't plan on using peer to peer networking with a Microsoft Windows workstation, you may not need the "IBM OS/2 Netbios Over TCP/IP protocol".   If you want to, you can select "Remove" to remove that protocol.

   - User ID and Pasword

   You will be prompted for a local logon userid and associated password.   This id is used by the peer-to-peer
   networking component of eCS, DB2, and other software that requires a local logon.  It is not used by the client-server
   requester or TCP/IP.  Because of a limitation of the IBM supplied installer for networking, the values you enter at this
   point MUST be USERID and PASSWORD respectively - even if you don't plan on using any applications that requires a
   local logon.

   If you need to use a local logon id, complete the selective install for networking and after that you will be prompted for
   a real userid and password to replace the USERID/PASSWORD you entered during install.

   - File and Print Sharing Services

   If you are running under a client-server only network and do not wish to install the peer to peer networking
   components, uncheck the "Install sharing" option under the "File and Print Sharing Services" selection option.

   If you are running a peer-to-peer network, note that Windows peer networking defaults to a domain name of
   Workgroup.   Please check and set the value of "Domain name" to the appropriate value for your network.

   After filling in all of the required parameters, you will see a message that the installer will attempt to reboot your
   machine.   If you have any other applications opened at that point, you should close them.  If your machine does not
   reboot after seeing the "your machine will now reboot" message, simply hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot your machine
   manually.

Select Execute below to invoke the Selective Install for Networking object.   When prompted for the "OS/2 Warp Version 4 CD-ROM", insert the eCS Installation CD #2 into your CD-ROM drive.

#SW_FirstTime.MLE_MPTS|Value#
You will be using an IBM supplied NIC installation program call MPTS to install a device driver for your TCP/IP service.   You should not use this program if you also want to use the Netbios networking services.    You can select Cancel below to go back to the last screen if you need to install Netbios networking.

Here are the steps for a basic NIC device driver installation:

(1) At the main screen of MPTS, select Configure.   Do not select Install

(2) At the Configure screen, the radio button for "LAN adapters and protocols" should have been checked, select Configure

(3) At the Adapter and Protocol Configuration screen, select "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP" under the Current Configuration sub-window (lower left) and then select "Remove"

(4) Repeat step (3) to remove "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS"

(5) Make sure "eCS install temporary driver definition..." has been selected under the Current Configuration sub-window (lower left) , and select the network adapter for your system from the Network Adapters window (upper left).   If you found a driver for your system, select Change to replace the temporary driver with the one for your system.

If you do not find a driver for your system, select Other adapters.   You will be prompted for additional NIC drivers.  You should also check to see if the directory \eCS\Drivers\NIC exists in  the eCS installation CD #2.   If that directory exists, you might find some additional NIC drivers in there.

(6) Select OK

(7) Select Close at the Configure window

(8) Select Exist at the MPTS window

(9) At the Update CONFIG.SYS window, scroll through the Drives to update selection list to make sure that your current boot partition is THE ONLY one highlighted.   Uncheck other drives if MPTS highlighted them.

(10) Select Exit (twice)

Select Execute to begin installing a device driver for your TCP/IP service.  
#SW_FirstTime.MLE_SelectiveInstall|Value#
Select Execute to start the Selective Installer for other system components.   After that, please wait for the Selective Installer to appear.  When you are prompted for the "OS/2 Warp Version 4 CD-ROM", insert the eCS Installation CD #2 into your CD-ROM drive.

Note that if the selective installer reports that there is no CD-ROM Device Support in your system.    Please ignore that.   Do not change the CD-ROM Device Support unless you're adding a new CD-ROM Device to your system.

It's very important that you DO NOT select the video display option while you are in the Selective Installer unless you ARE changing the video.   Your video subsystem has been pre-set to work with either the IBM GenGradd, Scitech Display Doctor, or classic VGA drivers.   If you select the video display option, the Selective Installer will fail to detect your present video subsystem setup and try to auto-detect.   If you follow through with that process, your graphic sub-system can become unusable.

At the end of the selective install process, if you are invited to reboot the machine, you should not do so.    Exit the program and continue with "Configure TCP/IP & Install Netbios Networking".

#SW_FirstTime.MLE_TCPIPSelectiveInstall|Value#
For this version of eCS, you will be configuring TCP/IP using a configuration program supplied by IBM.

For basic TCP/IP operations, you only need to specify the following parameters

(the name in parentheses indicates the page within the TCP/IP configuration notebook):

   - (Network) check Enable Interface

   - (Network) select "Automatically, Using DHCP" or "Manually, Using"

   - (Host Names, Hosts) Check the "Look through Hosts list before going to Name Server" option

and if you are configuring TCP/IP manually, you need to specify:

   - (Network) fill in your IP Address

   - (Network) fill in your Subnet Mask - such as 255.255.255.0

   - (Routing) fill in your Router or Gateway address 

      Select "Add", then choose "default" and fill in the "Destination IP Address" with a "Metric Count" of 1.

   - (Host Names) fill in your computer's host name for TCP/IP - should be the same as your Netbios machine name

   - (Host Names) fill in Local Domain Name

      Normally you would use the name of your ISP (such as ibm.net) unless you have a local TCP/IP domain.

   - (Host Names) Add the IP addresses of your primary and secondary name server(s) (also referred as "DNS")

The above settings should be sufficient for most basic TCP/IP usage.   

Select Execute to start TCP/IP configuration.

When you have completed the configuration and close the program, you are offered a choice between "OK to save data and reboot now" or "Cancel to save data and reboot later".  This design is regrettably confusing.   You should select "Cancel" so that the selective install process may continue.

It is possible that the system may lock up when the TCP/IP configuration program exits.  If this happens, simply press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot.  Your TCP/IP settings will have been saved.

When you have finished with TCP/IP configuration, you can proceed with installing Netbios networking.

If you reboot following TCP/IP configuration, this program will start automatically when the system comes back up.  You can then continue with the installation of NIC drivers and Netbios networking.
#SW_FirstTime.MLE_AfterNetbiosInstall|Value#
The IBM supplied Selective Installer for Netbios Networking required you to set up a user USERID with a password PASSWORD for the duration of the network installation.    It is highly recommended that you replace that setting with an actual userid and password.

In addition, the Selective Installer inserts a statement "NET START REQ" in your startup.cmd.   If you are running a peer-to-peer only network, you might want to replace this setting with "NET START PEER".
