 PK> Hi Dan,

Hello. 
 DE> What do I need to config and how to make Os/2 and Win98 
 DE> Network together? I have files on the Win98 box I want 
 DE> avail to the OS/2 box and Vica Versa.

 PK> Assuming they are all on the same LAN Segment, the basic set of rules
 PK> to get them to talk are -
It's a private lan. 3 Boxes. OS/2. Linux, and Win98 2nd edition.

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

Ok, where is that in OS/2's config optioms?
 PK> 2. Make sure they are BOTH using the exact same DOMAIN NAME. This is
 PK> the NETBIOS DOMAIN Name, NOT the TCP/IP DOMAIN NAME, they are different
 PK> beasts. Widows defaults to WORKGROUPS, OS/2 defaults to IBMPEERS. Make
 PK> them the same and it should be simple from there.

Same here, where do I find that?

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

I'll worry about that later. I don't want username and passwords if I can
avoid it.

Thanks!

... Don't hit me, Mr. Moderator... I'll go back on topic... I swear!
