Does anybody else have this problem:
I installed OS/2 Lan Server 3.0 from IBM, and also installed the
OS/2 remote IPL support (RIPL). After loading OS/2 to the drive
(with RIPLINST) and using GETRPL afterwards, one should have a first
working default. Especially, the installer should generate a default
RPL.MAP file, which contains some server and requester records.
The trouble is, this file is completely goofed up on my system, and,
even worse, I am not able to manually generate one (Lan Server always
complains about some errors in the file). Furhermore, there should
be generated some network aliases (calles RIPLFILES or something
like this), which are also not here. I had exactly the same problems
with Lan Server 2.0 earlier. So, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???
Some more problems: The installer doesn't generate a PATH statement for
/IBMLAN/NETPROGS, and the manual never mentions to do so manually. 
So, the STARTUP.CMD fails to do "NET START SRV"...
I am using: OS/2 2.0 US with US Service Pack, LAN Server 3.0 US, 
IBM PS/2 Mod. 95.
If somebody knows the answer, I would be glad to hear it.
Thank you and regards, Martin
