It gives a java create error and hangs the os/2 window. ctrl+c terminates the program. I am sure I have read something about this but I can't find the doco any more. Have any of you also had this problem. Perhaps it's because I now have Java 1.3.x as the default JRE rather than 1.1.8 ? Since the Java 1.1.x code is not being developed anymore and new programs all seem to need the 1.3.x level, it seems logical to switch the default. I also have a another problem (possibly related, possibly not) that I can't get the DDNS server to start, it simply terminates when I try to start it. Running it with debug switched on doesn't seem to shine any more light on the problem. I have had the DDNS along with the DHCP server working previously but not at the latest TCPIP & Java levels (again, this may or may not be relevant). Any ideas gratefully received !

TCPCFG2 is easy, load up c:\tcpip\bin\tcpcfg2.cmd into an editor, and insert 'c:\java11\bin\' before the line 'java COM.ibm.raleigh.tcp.tcpcfg2.client.Tcpcfg2c %tcplang% local notrace' That forces tcpcfg to use Java 1.1.

The second page in System object in System setup, should say Scitech Device (or something like that), not your actual Monitor. If you change the video card to another supported by SciTech, you have to do *NOTHING* it spots the new card during startup and makes all neccessary changes to itself. This IS the very best feaure of SCiTech, it enables you to use the same image on machines with different video cards or to simply replace a faulty or underpowered card with a newer one and NO software changes are needed as long as the new card is supported by SciTech. The difference between the IBM/Se and the full GA Scitech Driver is the number of cards supported. The IBM Version supports those video chipsets used in IBM hardware (or at least most of them), the Scitech version supports more video chipsets. Both versions are at the same engine code level.

I know Internode from my time in Adelaide, they're good group of people, unfortunately they'll have to rely on Telstra's ADSL infrastructure as do Primus and others. From what I have seen with Daryl's Primus configuration, the technology still has some way to go. Cable was cheaper, faster and more reliable but maybe with some more companies getting involved in ADSL broadband, things will improve. The System seems to change MTU size without warning, which can cause some problems. What was the reason for the change from Cable ? Is the allocated bandwidth cheaper with Internode ? Cheers/2 Ed. P.S. Not directly OS/2 related but the webpages at http://www.speedguide dot net/Cable_modems/cable_registry.shtml gives some useful tuning tips for Cable and xDSL.

That feels better :). I dislike the way that Telstra has ruined broadband in Australia by introducing download limits. Whilst the 3gb limit never really posed me a problem, it's a principle thing!! The plan I'm going to go with with Internode is still 3gb, but uploads are free, and it's slightly cheaper than Telstra. Oh and it's not Telstra :) Internode are earning themselves a very good reputation with the way they do business. I can also change to a reasonably priced $99.95 plan that includes 4.5gb of data but will go with the 79.95 3gb plan for now. I hadn't jumped ship previously due to the relatively high changeover cost, with having to buy an ADSL modem at $339 for an ethernet version, a central ADSL splitter at $36 then $139 for connection. But with the amnesty for Telstra customers that are under contract, and a full refund of the $189 I paid for installation of Bigpond cable in April last year, I think now is the best time possible to change to ADSL. Home phone will be changing to anyone but Telstra as of 27th of June too :) Regards, Paul.
