Netbios OVER TCPIP is TCPBEUI, which is a totally different protocol.
Win '95 only reconizes NETBIOS and TCPIP as protocols. It does not
reconize TCPBEUI. And here's the cliche... OS/2 Warp, if you load
TCPIP first, THEN want NETBIOS, the NETBIOS protocol will not load. It'll
fail upon startup... Forcing you to load NETBIOS OVER TCPIP (TCPBEUI) which
Win '95 won't reconize... Took me a few days to figure this one out...
SO, load NETBIOS first, then TCPIP, and the two work fine together,
AND can be networked with a Win' 95 machine.

I'm not too heavy on Novell myself, but I do believe that TCPIP for
Netware is a totally different software package that has to be installed
seperate from Netware... SO, unless you already have tcpip for netware
up and running, you're probably SOL. I could be wrong on this too... Just
thought I remember reading that somewhere...
You really ought to get Warp Connect... it comes with so much cool stuff
for networking...
