TinyTERM 4.04, TN3270 and Firewall
April 5th, 2007

Using TinyTERM Plus Edition 4.04, how do you connect through a telnet firewall to an IBM host with TN5250 or TN3270 terminal emulation?

Configure a sessions using the TTY terminal type and a telnet connection to connect to the firewall as follows:

  • Connection host: firewall name or IP address
  • Connection Type: telnet
  • Terminal Emulation: TTY
  • Telnet Terminal Type: (depends on IBM emulation required)
    • 3270
      • IBM-3278-2
      • IBM-3278-3
      • IBM-3278-4
      • IBM-3278-5
    • 5250
      • IBM-3179-2
      • IBM3477-FC
  • Save the session.
  • Telnet to the firewall using this configuration. When the firewall prompts for the host, enter the hostname or IP address of the destination host.
  • Depending on your firewall, you may have to hit the Enter key once to display the initial host screen.

NOTE 1: TinyTERM senses telnet binary mode to know when to switch emulations from TTY to one of the IBM emulations. The IBM terminal emulation desired is specified by the Telnet Terminal Type configuration.

NOTE 2: To preserve the initial firewall connection configuration do not save the session after the IBM host connection is made. TinyTERM changes your session properties when the IBM connection is made.

TinyTERM Causes Internet Explorer Errors
April 4th, 2007

Using TinyTERM on Windows 98 with Internet Explorer version 4, and a TinyTERM session as the home page, starting IE causes numerous errors and eventually locks up the PC. To get rid of these errors, do the following:

  1. Open Control Panel.
  2. Double-click the Internet icon.
  3. Reset the start or home page to default, or specify a URL.

You will now be able to launch Internet Explorer normally. You will have to launch TinyTERM separately after opening the browser.

TinyTERM Mismatch Error
April 4th, 2007

If you have applied the printing patch to TinyTERM 4.03 and now get a “TinyTERM mismatch” error, you probably have older versions of Tiny Term installed on the PC. To get rid of the error, do the following:

  1. Manually uninstall TinyTERM.
  2. Reboot your PC.
  3. Reinstall TinyTERM 4.03.
  4. Apply the printing patch again.
Removing the Icon from the System Tray
April 4th, 2007

How you get rid of the Marathon Internet Services icon in the system tray depends on your version of Windows. Regardless of the version, after you follow the procedure, the icon won’t load at startup any more.

Windows 95, 98 or Me

  1. Right-click on Network Neighborhood.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Select Century Internet Services.
  4. Select Properties.
  5. Select the Options tab.
  6. Uncheck the “Start Internet Services at Windows 95/98 startup” option.
  7. Click on Apply, then OK.

Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista

  1. Click on Start, then Programs or All Programs, then Startup.
  2. Right-click the “CenLPDstatus.exe” icon.
  3. From the pop-up menu, select Delete.

For these operating systems, you’ll probably want to stop the CenLPD service as well:

  • Open the Control Panel.
  • In Classic View, open the Administrative Tools.
  • Open the Services applet.
  • Double-click CenLPD.
  • Change the “Startup type” to Disabled.
  • Click OK, then close the Control Panel.

This prevents CenLPD from loading, saving both memory space and processor time.

Connection Fails After Installing New Windows 95 Software
April 4th, 2007

After installing third-party software that uses TCP/IP, TinyTERM may fail to connect on Windows 95. This happens when the new software replaces Winsock2 with an older version. This is not an issue on newer versions of Windows.

To fix this, reinstall Winsock2 on Windows 95. You can download the install here.

Missing NCDNP32.DLL
April 4th, 2007

This error means the specified file is not found in a standard Windows directory. To fix it, search on that file name. You should find a copy in C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM\NetUtils. Copy that file to C:\Windows\System32 or its equivalent. The next time you start TinyTERM, you won’t see the error.

Multiple Login Prompts
April 4th, 2007

If you see strange characters after connecting, and the host is prompting multiple times for login, you probably have a setting wrong. This usually happens when TinyTERM is set up to login automatically on connection, but the username and password aren’t set.

You can do one of two things. In the Login settings, you can either turn off the “login at connect” option, or you can set the username and password for the automatic login. Either way, the extraneous characters and multiple login prompts should disappear.

TinyTERM 4.03 Install Stops
April 4th, 2007

After entering the serial number and activation key, the TinyTERM 4.03 install sometimes disappears. When this happens, make sure there are no other versions of TinyTERM on the PC. If there is an older version installed, use Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel to remove it.

Before attempting to install TinyTERM 4.03 again, press Ctrl-Alt-Delete and end every task except Systra and Explorer. Once that’s done, run the install again. It should complete without a problem.

Get Capture Failed
April 4th, 2007

Starting TinyTERM Plus Edition 4.03 on Windows 98 or NT , you may receive the error “Get Capture Failed,” followed by DLL errors. This usually indicates you do not have TCP/IP installed. To correct the problem, you will need to do the following:

  1. Add TCP/IP to Windows.
  2. Reboot your PC.
  3. Uninstall TinyTERM, then reboot.
  4. Reinstall TinyTERM. When the install completes, reboot your PC, whether or not you are prompted to do so.
