If you're always searching for better ways to use TCP/IP with OS/2 Warp, IBM
has two new publications which can help.
1. "Beyond DHCP: Work Your TCP/IP Internetwork with Dynamic IP" (IBM
publication no. SG24-5280) is scheduled to be published in September, 1998.
This new book includes extensive sections on the new IBM TCP/IP 4.1. This
book also documents, for the first time, how to create a set of OS/2 Warp
boot diskettes which can connect to the network using TCP/IP and DHCP; how
to customize Netscape for firewall access using information provided by a
DHCP server; how to integrate LAN domain information into a TCP/IP network;
and much more. [Full disclosure: I'm one of the coauthors of this new
book.]
Many different platforms are discussed in this new book, but Warp Server,
OS/2 Warp 4, and WorkSpace On-Demand get extensive treatment. This book
should be on every TCP/IP network manager's shelf, regardless of platform.
2. "A Comprehensive Guide to Virtual Private Networks, Vol.1" (IBM
publication no. SG24-5201) includes extensive information on OS/2 Warp's new
Virtual Private Network (VPN) capabilities. Section 9.4.7 describes how to
use TCP/IP 4.1 to set up a "mini firewall."
