PASUG Mtg: Thurs, Feb 26th
PHILADELPHIA ALTERNATE SYSTEMS USER GROUP
http://www.phillyos2.org
The Philadelphia Alternate Systems User Group (PASUG) invites all
interested computer users to attend the February meeting. .
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2004 7:00-10:00PM
. Bryn Mawr Community Center, 9 S. Bryn Mawr Ave, Bryn Mawr,PA
. *** FEBRUARY 26th MEETING AGENDA ***
. -- THE NEXT STEP IN HOME LOCAL AREA NETWORKING --
. "T H E C O M P U T E R I S T H E N E T W O R K"
. -- Configuring Routing and File Sharing Between Subnets --
. >>> SPECIAL TREAT:- FRESH HOT PIZZA! <<<
The February 26th meeting will feature a presentation/demo by PASUG Member
Vadim Kavalerov, as a continuation of a networking presentation conducted
by Vadim at an earlier meeting.
Market forces have driven the cost of a PC down so much in recent years,
that chances are you may have ended up with more than one machine in your
home or small office. Connecting these machines together into a LAN can
substantialy reduce the cost of hardware items, as well as the cost of
software and maintenance.
The most obvious LAN configuration employs a fast ethernet network
interface card (NIC) in each PC, all connected to a switch or hub. But
note that OS/2 Warp & eCS can support up to 8 NICs per machine and
therefore can support many other, more useful configurations. But this is
where it gets tricky: e.g. Which IP address should be assigned to each
NIC? Do you need a subnet mask? And what to do about IP forwarding and
numerous TCP/IP configuration options? With these choices multiplying with
each new NIC connected to the LAN, forget the method of trial & error -
you must have a basic understanding of what's going on.
Even when the TCP/IP network is humming, you probably expect file sharing
also to work just as well, but classic NETBIOS networks are limited to a
single "collision domain." There is a workaround however: Running NETBIOS
protocol over TCP/IP, together with RFC1001 routing extensions, will allow
routing between subnets.
This will be the main goal of this presentation- to explain how to setup
file sharing on two separate subnets connected with a multi-
homed PC, i.e. a machine with two NICs. The basic configuration of the
protocols required to do this in each subnet, including the TCPBEUI setup,
will be shown in detail. And a live demo will also be performed on a PC
together with two laptops, each of which is connected to one of the two
NICs in the PC.
Please come to the February 26 meeting to see for yourselves what is meant
by "The Computer is the Network." Although the demo will be performed on
PCs running Warp 4.52 (MCP), the protocols and their configuration are not
specific to any one operating system. Once the basics are clearly
understood, similar setups can be built on Linux or other OSes.
Other agenda items include announcements, news & new software releases,
Q&A session, and 50/50 raffle. You will also enjoy fresh hot pizza,
delivered to our meeting at the break period.

SCOUG meeting Feb. 21, 2004
The next meeting of the Southern California OS/2 User Group (SCOUG) will
be this Saturday, February 21, 2004, at 10:00 AM PST, at the Fountain
Valley Library, 17635 Los Alamos, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (note that we
are meeting at a temporary location). We will be in the Community Room
(turn left just after you enter the library).
Treasurer Steven Levine will host a hands-on problem-solving session for
those who bring in their computers. It's the Help Desk with all the
advantages of a big crowd and lots of "experts" to make suggestions.
Lynn Maxson will lead the Programming SIG with a non-technical
presentation on software analysis and design, including database design.
Next month we expect to be in new facilities - with high speed Internet
access - in the northeastern part of Orange County.
Help Desk chats are on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM PST. If you've got a
problem with hardware or software, join the chat and ask for help. Info
is at http://www.scoug.com/chat/index.html.
OS/2 Live Help Desk, March 7th, 2004, 2 PM PST, Chapman University in
Orange:
At the live OS/2 Help Desk, volunteers will give you hands-on assistance
solving your hardware and software problems. It is usually held the first
Sunday of the month in cooperation with the OS/2 SIG of the North Orange
County Computer Club.
Come to Hashinger Hall Science Building, room 203. It's on the second
floor, and there's an elevator to bring up your equipment. Bring your
system and all related hardware and software, along with a detailed
explanation of your problem.
How to get to the Fountain Valley Library:
From the I-405 freeway, exit Brookhurst St. and go north. Turn right on
Slater Ave. Turn right on Los Alamos St.; the library is 1/2 block south
of Slater Ave. Or you can get a map at http://www.ocpl.org/25map.asp.
How to get to Chapman University:
There are two ways to get directions:
1) Go to http://www.scoug.com/warpexpowest/sitemap.html
2) Go to http://maps.yahoo.com and enter the address 400 N. Center St.,
Orange, CA.
You can park in any of the University lots for free on Sundays. The lot
off Center near the football field will usually have open spaces. The lot
off Walnut is larger, but there's some construction going on. If you park
on the street, be careful -- it's illegal to park on the residential side
of the streets without a permit.

February 2004 Meeting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2004
TIME: From 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Room DC1316, Davis Centre, University of Waterloo
Meeting facilities provided courtesy of Institute for Computer Research.
Everyone is Welcome to Attend!
REMOTE PRINTING -- REVISITED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Are
you operating a LAN? Do your users often want to print from a remote
workstation? Then this meeting is for you!
We will be looking once again at the topic of REMOTE PRINTING. We will
cover the different ways one or more printers can be connected to a LAN
so that several people can use them. You will learn some techniques you
probably hadn't thought of before.
This week, I'll use Windows 98 on my Notebook instead of Windows 2000
under VPC/2. That should make a huge difference, and hopefully we'll
actually get something done. :-)
WFMBKUP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, if time and equipment permit, I'll give a demonstration of
the first phase of WFMBKUP.
WFMBKUP is my program for backing up multiple large volumes/partitions to
hard drive. Unlike other backup programs, WFMBKUP isn't limited by volume
size. It will backup a 80GB partition as easily as a 1 GB partition!
