Hi Dan,

Assuming they are all on the same LAN Segment, the basic set of rules to get
them to talk are -

  1. Make sure both systems have NETBIOS configured on the LAN card.

  2. Make sure they are BOTH using the exact same DOMAIN NAME. This is the
NETBIOS DOMAIN Name, NOT the TCP/IP DOMAIN NAME, they are different beasts.
Widows defaults to WORKGROUPS, OS/2 defaults to IBMPEERS. Make them the same
and it should be simple from there.

  3. Lastly, if you can see the other machine but can't access any resources
on that machine, then set up the SAME USERID and PASSWORD on each platform. 

The above stteps will give you the simplest configuration to get things
working. 

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