Hi Roy,

 RJT> is a little checkbox that says "Connect to 
 RJT> resource at logon",  which _IS_ checked in all three of them.

 RJT> So why didn't it?

A couple of reasons that I can think of -

  1. The Linux shares were not in a state to accept a login at the time the
OS/2 box tried to connect. This is one annoyance I have with OS/2 networking,
in that for an unattended server site it is not possible to configure a
RELIABLE automatic retry option to automate connections via the WPS. To
resolve this I always issue manual NET USE commands via STARTUP.CMD to connect 
to a resource at system startup and it loops (after a short delay) until those 
connections are established successfully.

  2. In general, for this to work, your OS/2 box requires a user to be logged
on to it, that the user has permission to USE that share, AND the SAME userid
must be defined on the Linux box using the SAME Login/Password combination.

If all those match, then I am not sure what is happening.

I hope this helps.........pk.
