Oh?  I thought it talked just netbios,  as opposed to netbios over tcp/ip.  On 
the w95 box I have it working and that has tcp/ip and netbios installed as two 
separate protocols,  no netbios over tcp/ip there.

And,  my understanding of this stuff is that the _only_ time you need netbios
_over_ tcp/ip is when you want netbios stuff to cross from one lan segment to
another,  as it's routable while netbios by itself isn't.  Since I have only
the one lan segment here,  that's not an issue.

Yep.  Now,  if I go to the w95 box and open network neighborhood,  I can see
the Linux box no problem.  Clicking on that shows me a printer icon and three
shares that I have set up,  which I can get into no problem.  On the OS/2 box
I have got nowhere near this far.  The "shares and connections" icon doesn't
seem to be able to see the Linux box at all,  though I had no problems with
this seeing the w98 box I used to run.

Domain names agree,  and the protocols and whatnot match up,  IP addresses are 
as they should be (all 192.168.x.n),  so what's the problem?  What else do I
need to fiddle with here?
