Hello Bill,
Replying to a message of Bill Hliwa to Alec Herrmann:
 AH>> Yes - the domain name on the OS/2 box should be set to 
 AH>> the same name as the workgroup name on the Win95 box.  
 AH>> Try using 4-8 alphabetic characters only in the 
 AH>> domain/workgroup name to start off with.  Do the same 
 AH>> with the workstation names (which must be different).
 BH> I'm missing something somewhere.  In tcp/ip configuration, the OS/2
 BH> box has a hostname of 'mt1' and a domain name of 'medtechnet.com'. 
 BH> The Win95 box had a workgroup name of just 'medtechnet'.  I changed
 BH> the Win95 box's workgroup name to, 'medtechnet.com' and I still don't
 BH> see the OS/2 box in the win95 network neighborhood.
The TCP/IP host names and domain names have nothing to do with the NETBEUI 
(actually NETBIOS) names in the Windows Workgroup machine and workgroup 
mes.
To make things simple, I would concentrate on only getting the NETBIOS 
interfaces working correctly and then move on to the TCP/IP configurations.  
Look in \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI onthe OS/2 box for the following (yours may look 
different):
[requester]
  COMPUTERNAME = HERM1
  DOMAIN = BYTEWYND
The domain name should match the workgroup name on the Windows box.  The 
COMPUTERNAME should be different than the machine name on the Windows box.
 BH> Maybe my netbios is no setup properly.  When I open MPTS, and click
 BH> Configure, NETBIOS is listed and status is: configured.  If I click
 BH> the button in front of NETBIOS the configure button is dimmed.
 BH> Am I approaching NETBIOS configuration incorrectly?
On the OS/2 box, what is the result of the 'NET STATUS' command (just the 
first 10 lines or so), the 'NET START' command, the 'NET SHARE' command, and 
the 'NET VIEW' command? 
Regards, Alec
