Which version?
take a look at start/system/systeminformation -> version

What Patchlevel? Open a cmd window an type 'version'

Do you use on the OS/2 machines the peer requester or smbfs?

If you use the peer requester, there is no chance to get win7 and OS/2
networking together. If you use smbfs, at one point, somewhere about 5
jears ago, a patch disabled the old ntlmv1 features with win7. you have to
enable them manually, but you also have to disable the password encryption
of win7 netbios stack. But, if you update your win7 computers, all settings
will deleted again.

Ahm, I'm described the problem already in os2.ger. Maybe I find the patch
and the reg-cmds for win7.

But, it is more comftable and safe to get rid of peer requester and the old
smbfs system of OS/2. Just deinstall the stuff, get the samba4 fileserver
from netlabs. Be sure to fetch and install samba4. samba3 isn't longer
supportet with newer updates of win7.

To give a proper answer, I need some more information about your setting. ;-)

Anyway, it is a OS/2 problem, not a windows problem. ;-)
You get this problem as well, if you use linux above kernel 2.4.x and bsd
above version 7.x.x
