subject: OS/2 WARP & WINDOWS NT SERVER

Hi Steve,
 SS> Does anyone use MSLANMAN for OS/2 successfully, and if so, how can I get

I have never seen MSLANMAN so I can't comment about that.
 SS> Does anyone have any other ideas for a networking client that will allow
 SS> OS/2 to logon to a Windows NT server?
I use this type of connectivity daily, and its easy. OS/2 Warp Connect can do 
that out of the box, the most difficult part will probably be making sure 
that the DOMAIN NAME for the OS/2 PEER configuration matches the NT DOMAIN 
NAME, otherwise it will not be easy to see the NT resources on the OS/2 
system.
There are 2 ways to solve this problem -
  1. The Easy way is to change the defaut setting for OS/2 in the 
     OS/2 PEER configuration from IBMPEERS (the default value) to
     whatever DOMAIN NAME is used on the NT system.
  2. OS/2 can be a member of up to 4 DOMAINS at a time, however you
     cannot set more than 1 via the standard configuration utilities. 
     You can leave the default name of IBMPEERS, and add an extra 
     DOMAIN NAME manually by modifying the file \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI 
     (on your OS/2 partition). In the [requestor] section of that 
     file you will find a line -
        DOMAIN = IBMPEERS
     Add a NEW line after that one that reads -
        OTHDOMAINS = XXXX, YYYY
     where XXXX is the NT DOMAIN NAME you need to reach. Extra DOMAINS
     can also be reached by adding , YYYY ...
At work I use Warp and connect to other OS/2, Win311, Win95, Win NT, IBM MVS 
Hosts and various flavours of *nix (SCO, Linux, Sun) boxes, using TCP/IP no 
problems. For those platforms that require SMB (Server Message Block) support 
(such as Workgroups style resource sharing), I use NETBIOS over TCP/IP to 
reach them. This means I can share resources on machines at the other of the 
country (or world) over our corporate router links.
I hope this helps............pk.
