this network has been in full use for almost a year... NetBios/NetBeui and 
TCP/IP... i may have IPX on the Win95 boxes but i don't remember... the OS/2 
machine is my 'baby'... it does most everything... gateway to the internet, 
ftp server, http server, RC5 proxy services, RC5 client, runs my BBS, etc... 
etc... etc... >
yes, the machines can all talk to each other... i just can't get Netscape/2 
to save files to any of th Win95 boxes... recently some have pointed out that 
i must ensure 8.3 naming which i have done to no avail... the main reason why 
i want to save files on the Win95 boxes is because i'd like to put the Win95 
files i download over there and not "risk corrupting my OS/2 box" OB-)
call it seperation and segragation ;-)
