I am not connected to a lan, and only use warp for accessing a ppp dynamically assigned ip internet account. I get the [COMW] error, whenever I try to upload data and then my connection hangs. I have no problems with any other internet apps, only when uploading using ftp. I haven't applied any fixpacks that have been released. I have tried replacing the com.sys driver that comes with connect with a com driver (Comfix.zip) that is on hobbes in the OS2/patches directory. I have disabled all compression, and error checking on my modem. I have lowered the baud of my modem from 115200 to 57600 and then to 38400. I have run a command file that changes the mtu from 1500 (the value in the dialer) to 1450 before uploading (as recommended by a post in comp.os.os2.networking tcpip): ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1450 Everything I have tried doesn't fix the [COMW] errors. I have spoken to my ISP about the problem, and they claim that the AT&F1 init string that I use with the dialer is fine (My ISP uses USR Couriers). They blame the problem on OS/2. I have spoken with USR, and the claim my modem is fine, and that it must be OS/2 that is causing the problems. I can upload to my shell acount without any problems using halite. I really am inpressed with warp's robustness, and I think it is a truly mature OS, as compared to win95, but if I can't have stabilty in my internet connection, then I have no choice but to try win95. I hope someone has anything that may help me get OS/2 working correctly.
