subject: Sharing a WFWG printer...

Greetings All!
I'm new to this, so please be gentle. :-)
Strictly for amusement, I've slapped together an old 386, and set up WFWG and 
my printer on it. It took all of about 15 minutes to install the network card 
driver, and NetBEUI; when I fire up NT each machine can see the other, share 
the printer, blah blah blah.
Now--I haven't the first clue as how to achieve the same thing through Warp 
Connect . I had a go at installing IBM Peer (?), however it couldn't find 
the other machine.
One of the things that I've noticed, is that the list of protocols available 
to WFWG is rather different from those which IBM Peer supports. Peer, when I 
tried to install it, was offering NetBIOS, or NetBIOS over TCP/IP. The WFWG 
machine allows NetBIOS over either IPX or ODI.
Any suggestions as how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated!
