Requestor fails to start

  Hi All,

  I am running eCS2.0rc1 on a Gateway laptop. With the new ACPI ver. 3 I have
finally manged to get 
all hardware working... including the WiFi. I am able to browse the Internet
(with the WiFi), but I cannot 
log on to my WSeB LAN.... when I try I get the message 'LAN requestor could not
be started'. MPTS 
has TCP/IP and NetBIOS over TCP/IP attached to the GenMAC driver for the WiFi.
If I plug into the 
ethernet I can log on to the LAN no problem.

  Can anyone give me any ideas what might cause this?

Regards,

Dave McKenna

I don't know about WSeB, but regular OS/2 uses netbios, as contributors to 
these forums have explained it to me.  Netbios over tcpip is for 
connecting with 'doze and such.

  I am able to connect to the WSeB LAN server with this computer by Netbios over
TCP/IP if I am 
attached to the network by ethernet cable. If there is no cable and I try to log
on while using the WiFi 
(which IS connected to the network at least via TCP/IP) I get the requestor
error. Help for the error 
isn't very helpful - help for net2186 says 'The service is not responding to the
control function' - then 
'try again later'...??

  My gut tells me it may be a setting in the Netbios over TCP/IP parameters, or
in the *.inf file for the 
GenMAC WiFi driver, but my guts have been wrong before. I'm just looking for
ideas what to look 
for....

  I thought maybe that was it, but LANTRAN.LOG ends with:

  Doesn't that look like it is bound properly to lan1 (which is the WiFi card)?
Or is there more to it...
