  I found the docs, somewhere in an INF file!  Even when your domain
password is different form the peer pw you can:
net use l:  \\dls\resource <peer pw>
  My needs are simple, I am the only one that, from time to time,
needs to access the C: drive from the clients. This access saved
me hours today on our -still running Lantastic- pc network:
  - Repaired (sw) 1 pc by copying some files from a similar pc after
comparing the two.  These pc's are on a remote location and connected
through a wireless LAN.
  - Updated a DOS program.  -
  - After logging in to a wrong machine, incidentally found illegal
installed software.  The guy is punished...
Yes these are default shares!
  After I sorted things out and had the first successfull USE from the
DLS C:  drive at my Warp 4 box, the dir f:  worked!  But...  type
f:\autoexec.bat - TRAP!!!  A genuine IPE!  I had the first fixpack for
Warp 4 already a few days and installed these immediately.  No mercy,
TRAP again.
  But it could be badder:  I repeated this at the Warpserver machine
and got the same trap.  Most register values where the same.  This is
real bad:  A server that crashes.  Our outdated DOS based Lantastic
server never crashed in five years daily use with nearly 50 clients
today.  What?  Our AIX server with even more clients, with longer
working days and much much heavier load never crashed in a longer
period.  Gives me to think, maybe AIX with AIX connections or even
Samba on it could be a better solution.
  So I reported all of this to IBM and now they are working on it.  I
hope so.

assistant: Hello All!
Can someone help me with a problem i'm experiencing since changing over to an
OS/2 installation on a HPFS drive.
I have 3 machines networked, 2 are Win'95 & one is OS/2 V3.00 with the C:
drive being HPFS.
I have batch files that i have run for years on dos, windows 3.1, 3.11, Win
95 Win '95B AND OS/2 with a FAT Partition...they work fine...now since i have
installed OS/2 on a HPFS drive & run the batch files in dos from the Windows
machines..i get a "Batch file Missing" error...i.e it recognises the batch
file is there & STARTS...however as soon as the batch file process moves to
another directory or drive it seems to lose contact with the batch file &
comes up with this error.
The batch files are all in "The Path" on ALL machines...i can't seem to
narrow it down any further...it seems to be either a comaptability problem
with the Win/OS2 networking or something in how the FAT machines access the
HPFS drive.
I lean towards the latter as all seemed to be well until i installed HPFS.
Any ideas guys?

It's an OS/2 related problem. My NetWare works perfectly with DOS and Windows

looking for a set of drivers that OS/2 will accept during installation AND
some hints to the correct procedure to get the things working. One point of
interest - since I installed the net-board, I can only install with hardware
detection disabled - otherwise I'll never get past a certain point (the
go).
the net cfg is ok, I use a 802.2 frame, port 260, int 10 and try to bind the

Hello Rainer,
Ok, that's a deal.
I have 'unzipped' it and I can re-build DiskCat from the sources. I have
played a while with it today just to get an idea but I think we can solve
this problem.
Yeah 6 Mb... in one chunk wow!
Yup, I can understand that code.

Ok, it compiles and runs properly. I only have some difficulties with
debugging. Do you use one or two machines during debugging. Stepping through
the 'RaedCompleeDisk' code is a little difficult because of this
MessageBuffer-thing.

perfectly, which is set at 300H IRQ 12. I desperately need to get this card
working or I may be forced to install Win95 :( which detects and sets up the

assistant: HI All,
  I'm running a BBS under a DOS machine, and am trying to get this same
machine networking to my server (WIN NT Server 4.0), so I can run the
board under OS/2. A trial CD of The microsoft Information server, that
Microsoft is offering, also comes with a trial copy of Win NT Server,
which has a few networking clients available also. One of hem is an OS/2
client, and I tried to get that to work. It installed perfectly, but
doesn't load all of the drivers. There is a line (the last one in the
config.sys) that loads a driver with the IFS= line.
IFS=C:\LANMAN.OS2\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.SYS /iC:\LANMAN.OS2
OS/2 halts on this line, saying that this driver is not a valid device
driver or file system driver.
Does anyone use MSLANMAN for OS/2 successfully, and if so, how can I get
it working?
Does anyone have any other ideas for a networking client that will allow
OS/2 to logon to a Windows NT server?
Thanks!
