Subject:	SCOUG-General: RE: OS/2 users presentation

I received the following from Lance, a SCOUG member who works at the L.A.
Times. The Times uses OS/2, but appears to be on their way towards
becoming an MS shop.

If anyone has any suggestions about his problem below (appears to be a
network problem), it could be very helpful to him.

I'm using MS-Mail and prior to last November, it worked fine. Then the
mail server crashed and I was moved to another mail server.
Coincidentally, they also did something to my workstation, I'm not sure
what now. At any rate, my network connection has not worked since then.
They've changed things and who knows what else, but the one thing they
haven't done, AFAICT, is research the problem from my workstation. I get a
1042 message which has to do with the LAN requestor, a timeout, I believe.

If I remain connected to mail, I will eventually get this error, so I
logout and exit after each mail session. I also can get it when I do
something is MS Word. I believe those two programs are the only ones
accessing files across the network, so I don't see how it can be the mail
server, which is the story I'm hearing now.

By coincidence, I was speaking to the network/electronics guy this morning
about the problem. He says I am the only one connected to the mail server
with OS/2, and suggests OS/2 is the problem. I think the other OS/2
workstations are using a different mail server but, as I mentioned, it was
working fine before November.

We have three types of file servers; NT, Netware, and Banyan. I don't
know if the OS/2 app uses an OS/2 server or not; I think the server part
of the app runs on Unix boxes.

Thanks, Mark.
