assistant: You never said what version of OS/2 your are running,
but...
I was running MS OS/2 LANMAN on OS/2 2.1 and it worked
fine. When I upgraded from 2.1 to 3.0, I had *exactly* this
same problem.  I tried many things but could never get MS
LANMAN to work with OS/2 3.0.  I solved the whole problem
by ditching the (16-bit) LANMAN and buying and installing
Warp 3.0 Connect. At this time, Warp 4.0 would be the best
choice.  I have a feeling the problem may be that Warp 3.0
and above might not like the 16-bit LANMAN stuff as much as
OS/2 2.1 did :-).  I dunno...

Write your reply.

assistant: Hola All!
I have two machines:  one with Warp Connect and other with Linux networking
with TCP/IP very well.  Now I wish to setup NetBIOS protocol between them.
At the Linux box I setup smbd and nmbd daemons and its work ok. A test with
'smbclient -L LINUXMACHINE'  shows me all the local shared services.
At the OS/2 Warp Connect I have Peer services working with a third machine
running Warp Connect too, and I start NetBIOS on TCP/IP protocol at MPTS
services.
All machines are setup to use the workgroup name IBMPEERS.
The problem is that I can't see the other machine:
The Linux box says:
  Session request failed (0,0) with myname=LINUXMACHINE desname=OS2MACHINE
  Unspecified error 0x0
  Your server software is beign unfriendly
as reply of the command:  smbclient -L OS2MACHINE
The OS/2 says:
  NET3502: Error 53
  SYS0053: Not access way to the lan    (perhaps my traslation is not
xactly)
as reply of the commend:  net use H: \\LINUXMACHINE\ROOT
What am I make impropertly?
Suggestions....??

I don't need to set it to jumper mode as the EEPROM and registers on the
board have the config correctly set already. I don't use the Plug and Play
option because my bios isn't capable of such trickery. The supplied dos
config program finds the board fine with no errors at all.
Try trebling that price and then some, but my budget is very tight at the
moment as the Mrs has demanded that no more be spent on the computer than
absolutely necessary.
Well if Win95 can figure it all out on an older computer than this one then
OS/2 should be able to do it with its hands tied behind its back.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Steve,
I have never seen MSLANMAN so I can't comment about that.
I use this type of connectivity daily, and its easy. OS/2 Warp Connect can do
that out of the box, the most difficult part will probably be making sure
that the DOMAIN NAME for the OS/2 PEER configuration matches the NT DOMAIN
NAME, otherwise it will not be easy to see the NT resources on the OS/2
system.
There are 2 ways to solve this problem -
  1. The Easy way is to change the defaut setting for OS/2 in the
     OS/2 PEER configuration from IBMPEERS (the default value) to
     whatever DOMAIN NAME is used on the NT system.
  2. OS/2 can be a member of up to 4 DOMAINS at a time, however you
     cannot set more than 1 via the standard configuration utilities.
     You can leave the default name of IBMPEERS, and add an extra
     DOMAIN NAME manually by modifying the file \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI
     (on your OS/2 partition). In the [requestor] section of that
     file you will find a line -
        DOMAIN = IBMPEERS
     Add a NEW line after that one that reads -
        OTHDOMAINS = XXXX, YYYY
     where XXXX is the NT DOMAIN NAME you need to reach. Extra DOMAINS
     can also be reached by adding , YYYY ...
At work I use Warp and connect to other OS/2, Win311, Win95, Win NT, IBM MVS
Hosts and various flavours of *nix (SCO, Linux, Sun) boxes, using TCP/IP no
problems. For those platforms that require SMB (Server Message Block) support
(such as Workgroups style resource sharing), I use NETBIOS over TCP/IP to
reach them. This means I can share resources on machines at the other of the
country (or world) over our corporate router links.
I hope this helps............pk.

Install TCP/IP and OS/2 Peer services. Then its just a case of configuring

I seem to be in a similar position to you.  As an operating system, Warp
better meets my needs than NT for certain critical system components
(particularly network related), but the lack of developer support and
the increasing Win32 only releases of new applications is forcing me to
go the NT route. :-(  I'll have to run a scaled down OS/2 box for those
critical components and run the mail system over the LAN.
