I'm missing something somewhere.  In tcp/ip configuration, the OS/2 box has a 
hostname of 'mt1' and a domain name of 'medtechnet.com'.  The Win95 box had a 
workgroup name of just 'medtechnet'.  I changed the Win95 box's workgroup 
name to, 'medtechnet.com' and I still don't see the OS/2 box in the win95 
network neighborhood.
 
Maybe my netbios is no setup properly.  When I open MPTS, and click 
Configure, NETBIOS is listed and status is: configured.  If I click the 
button in front of NETBIOS the configure button is dimmed.
 
Am I approaching NETBIOS configuration incorrectly?
