I of cause was busy working through this and discovered it when I got home. The secondary server went off line down due to lack of disk space as the log files had grown to big, as had the volume of error messages. The primary server simply crocked on the shear volume of hits on the incoming ports, as this one took the full force of the attack. Only the mailservers were taken offline, no other services were affected, and mail is back to normal, 119 IP ranges in China have been banned at the firewall, as the traffic is continuing. I have no knowledge of why we have been targetted, so I'll simply be sending all logs over to the Australian Federal Police to let them figure it out. Since writing this, I've discovered I'm not the only one, seems to be a few other AntiSpammers have also been targetted including SpamCop. I'm expecting more attacks to occur in the coming days so my apologies if the list is up and down like a yoyo.

Make sure that on the TOWER under OS/2 there is a USER-ID of ADMINISTRATOR with the same password as the XP-USER-ID of ADMINISTRATOR has, and has administrator privileges on OS/2 also. Have shutdown the other system and powered up in W2KP-mode to check where the settings actually were, and you were right it is under users etc. in Control Panel - check out all the "advanced" buttons etc and make sure you're not trying to share the C$ to other machines - [admin only] - make sure you create other share profiles for the drive(s), with the correct permissions.

You are obviously asking for INJOY users help since that is what you are using. I have not used dialup for a few years now and have never used InJoy. BUT:- If you want to try the IBM Dial Other Providers type of Dialler I can send you a copy of a dummy (NO passwords) tcpos2.ini file. This file contains a lot of examples of other ISP connections I had tried over the years. One of the scripting examples may resemble your requirements. You would be advised to back up your existing tcpos2.ini file (if it exists) and substitute it for mine. I have given this file to a number of os2 users over the years and most found it to be of help. From memory, I think it has scripting for Hotkey, Netstra (defunct and is now Hotkey), IBM, OptusNet dialup, OzOnline, TPG, OzEmail, BigPond dialup. You would have to customise for your own NAME and PASSWORD though and keep in mind that it is several years old. NO AlphaLink dialup though, I never got around to trying that service. Hope this helps.

In the InJoy settings, have you tried setting both the IP and DNS addresses to zero? Is it possible your ISP uses dynamic settings for both. It is important that you set them as 0.0.0.0 Something similar happened to me a *long* time ago. When I rang up my (then) ISP to complain, he told me that both settings were dynamic. That's when I tried it, and have not looked back ever since. It may not be your solution, but I hope it helps in some way.

(it won't allow me to do the latter anyway) To keep it simple just have Netbios and TCPIP enabled on the OS2 Box - ie remove Netbios over TCPIP - using that option (as long as you're using at least MPTS v6) allows OS/2 to talk to XP without having to add Netbeui to XP, but we've done that already anyway. > You won't be able to use DOMAIN unless you have a Windows 2000 domain controller (server) on your LAN, which I > expect you haven't. So stay with WORKGROUP. By the way, is IBMPEERS correct - I thought the default was IBMPEER > (without the S).

I had a problem with earlier versions where the MMOS/2 classes (this includes bitmaps), would loose their icons, and sometimes be replaced by some random icon. I could never figure out what triggered it, other than moving image files around. It wouldn't surprise me if saving an image from PMMail would have triggered it. Anyway, it seems to have been fixed with XWP 1.0.1. -- David Forrester davidfor at internode.on dot net http://www.os2world dot com/djfos2/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
