How does that translate?

All I need to do is run the one wire that I haven't gotten around to 
connecting yet...

Done.

Cool!

I guess I must have mis-read something in one of the books,  then.

I sure do.  Five of them altogether,  in fact.  I look forward to getting to 
the point where I can try this out...
(Need to clean out a little disk space first,  though.)

Hello,
Currently I'm trying to upgrade my OS/2 Warp 3.0 to OS/2 Warp 3.0 Connect. I 
want to end up with a OS/2 with the possebility to share my drives and mound 
them in NT.
Someone told me that I should install MPTS and TCP/IP 3.0 with Netbios, 
because the only difference between Warp and Warp Connect should be the 
networking and netbios should take care of sharing.
But at the moment I can't find where to start sharing my drives and where to 
tell OS/2 Warp (Connect?) where to find other networking systems.
Can someone please tell me what I should install now to make all this work?
Installing Warp Connect on top of Warp 3.0 does not work because my OS/2 Warp 
is at servicepack level 31 and Warp Connect refuses to install on top of 
at.
Greetings,                               //PGPServer running   -2CD069ED-
