I don't think that's it either.  But I'll look into it...

I'm firing up that box now and will see what that gives me.

 PK> Can the W95 box see AND CONNECT to a SHARE on the OS/2 box?

Yes.  Yesterday I was able to sit there at that w95 machine and click on a
.pdf file on the OS/2 box and view it.

 PK> Can the OS/2 box see AND CONNECT to a SHARE on the W95 box?

Yes again.  In both cases I can see,  and get at files on a different machine.

Trying 'net view',  it asked me to log in first,  and came back with _only_
the OS/2 box showing in the "list" there.  (The w95 box isn't currently on.)

Trying that 'net status' command,  I do have a whole bunch of stuff in there,
but it's still not seeing the Linux box,  just the local machine apparently.

Trying them again after firing up the w95 box gives me exactly the same
results, which is a little odd.  And the w95 box isn't seeing this machine,
which it did yesterday.  I wonder if the order of powering things up makes a
difference here? Trying a restart shows this to apparently be the case,  as I
can now see the OS/2 box from the w95 box,  net view shows both machines where 
it didn't before. Net status stil doesn't show me anything other than what it
did,  though -- shares on the OS/2 machine which are available to the w95 box, 
but not the other way around.  Yet doing a "dir f:" at a command prompt shows
me a directory of the HD on the w95 box.

I'm still confused...!

(Added later)

I just for the heck of it ran through the install process,  not really
changing anything but saying "Yes" when it asked me if I wanted to delete and
re-create the NET.ACC file,  and now the 'net view' command shows me all three 
machines!  The linux box is showing up in there with "Samba server" in the
Remark column.

I can also see stuff in there in the "Sharing and Connecting" function that
wasn't visible before,  including creating shares that access resources on the 
LInux box.

I don't understand this...
