Hello All!
Recently I installed an SCO OpenServer w/VisionFS on my home network and it's 
working -great- between my Win95 PC and my SCO box.
I also have two OS/2 Warp 4 boxes with Peer-to-Peer networking installed. 
These boxes are able to 'see' and 'mount' an SMB share from the SCO box; 
however, when I attempt to write files from the OS/2 box(es) to the SCO box, 
I get voluminous amounts of write errors, and the files that end up on the 
SCO box are corrupted beyond recovery.
Any ideas? Perchance it is merely some networking parameters on OS/2 that 
need to be adjusted? Perchance I should be using the LAN Manager Client on 
OS/2 rather than Peer-to-Peer?
As a workaround, I've considered 'sharing' the Unix shares via my Win95 
machine. There seem to be no problems moving files between the OS/2 and Win95 
machines, so I thought I'd 'mount' the SCO share to the Win95 machine, and 
then share it back out of the Win95 machine to the OS/2 machine. Any thoughts 
from anybody on that (other than it being a bit inefficient?)
