I recently started playing around again with OS/2 v4 (fixpack 14 or 15) and read that netbeui was needed to connect to Win XP. I added Netbeui to my XP Pro box and can connect fine. The XP box shows up in File and Print Client Resource Browser, and I can connect to the XP box from a command prompt with net use k: \\boxname\share.Next I tried to get OS/2 to connect to my nt4 Server. I added the netbeui protcol to the nt box and it can ping the OS/2 box. When working from the os/2 box, I can ping the nt4 server, however, it does not show up in file and print client resource browser. when I try from a command prompt to "net use" to connect, I get an error that I need to provide the correct user and password.
"net use help" provides the syntax below. i tried a bunch of different combos but could not connect.
My network does not have a domain, rather it is simply a workgroup called "mshome". The only account on the nt server machine besides the admin acount has no password.
FYI the share on the nt server is open to everyone with full access and I have tried both ntfs and fat shares with the same results.
Could someone pls tell me the exact line to enter to connect given my setup. Or, suggest what I may be doing wrong.
Many thanks!
[C:\]net use help
The syntax of this command is:
NET USE [device | \\machineID\netname]
NET USE device \\machineID\netname [password] [/COMM]
NET USE device alias [password] [/COMM] [/DOMAIN:name]
NET USE {device | \\machineID\netname} /DELETE
