Basically, all you have to do is to make sure that both machine's network
cards are using the same protocols (NETBIOS for example), and make sure that
the domainnames are the same for both computers (IBMPEER for example).
If both computers have working ethernet cards, this should be all you need to
get started.  This is good for peer networking support.  Now if you want to
use tcpip, additional setup is required.

Alec,
Please disregaurd my last message about not getting any files to display on
either of my peer workstations.  That was a stupid mistake on my part.  I
didn't even think about adding sharing and connections.  Once I setup sharing
and the proper rights on both systems, I am able to see the files on each
drive, including my printer.  Mapping is easy too!
Its great to have these systems networked!  Thanks for all your help!

above the level of setting IRQ's and node addresses.  What will I have
to do to connect to the school network and where can I find OS/2 arcnet
drivers?  If the login software is DOS based, will my OS/2 sessions be

setup file and print sharing on the WIN95 PC, and setup access (sharing) on

I'm considering doing this, if I can find the time this weekend.
I'm pretty sure that it's the networking stuff.  WARP installs ok, and
onnect
hangs *right* at the point where it's about to ask me if I want to install
he
networking stuff.  Something about a "queue already in use".
Don't have internet access yet.  That's part of the reason that I'd like to
install Connect.  I'll be able to access modems across the network and start
surfing the net.
Thanks!  I need it.  <g>

Write your reply.

assistant: This would tend to confirm that the installation is having trouble
with network portion, modst likely the network card sniffer.
If your network card uses a larger I/O window than your 280 setting may
still overlap the natourious adddress of 300.
If you can get the base OS to install but not the networking support,
you may need to do like I did to 'kick start' things. I installed the
base OS without the networking support. Then used the PRODINST from the
WARP CD to install Multi-protocol Transport Support( MPTS). I was then
able to some basic configuration for the network card via MPTS. I then
was able to use the regular installation to install the peer-to-peer
networking.

Sorry to jump in the middle of this Bruce; I didn't see any earlier messages

I had very similar problems when I upgraded from 16 meg to 32 meg.
Finally solved it by going into the CMOS settings as the system was booting
and found an option there on the amount of memory to cache.  It was something
about caching only memory up to 16 meg or caching more than 16 meg.  I
changed it from the up-to-16 to the over-16 option.
I can't recall the exact wording nor even what brand of motherboard it was;
I've since upgraded my motherboard/CPU to something faster so can't even go
and check it for you.
This may not be your problem but it definitely was mine.  Might be worth the
effort to go look at your CMOS settings and check them all for something
similar.
