Maybe you can point me in the right direction..
I'm working on the same basic thing as Don.  I have a WFWG machine I have to 
get a large number of files off of.  I have MS's TCP/IP loaded on it.  I can 
ping back and forth between 4 machines (WFWG, NT, W95, OS/2 4.0), they all 
seem to be talking to each other that way, so I figure I'm close.  But no 
machines can see the WFWG machine (or connect to it) and the WFWG cant see or 
connect to the others.
There all on the same domain (turtil) and the machine name refer's to the op 
system, so there shouldnt be a conflict..
TIA
