Have you purchased the NFS (Network File System) addon support for TCPIP? It
doesn't come included with Warp Connect. It might be part of Warp Server
though. The printer function is built in and requires things like LPD and
LPRMON etc... you will probably find much better answers on how to use these
tools in an O'Reilly Linux/TCPiP book than you will in any IBM publication as
most are just pure ports of older IP code.
