| Hello, Relatively new to OS2 (Warp 4 latest free fix pack, 14 maybe??) and I'd like to be able to share some files between my XP pro "Shared" folder and the Warp box. THe ,achines are networked behind a linksys firewall/router. THere is a post in this forum titled: "XP and OS/2 Peer" and it appears that I need to run netbeui on the xp machine. Is that correct? Could someone detail for me or point me to an artive the provides detail on file sharing b/t these 2 OS's. I googled a bit and did not find the answer. Many thanks |

| Thx for the link Jesper, I have netbeui running fine on the xp machine. The problem now is that I can not connect to the drive. from an os2 window net use x: \\computernam\share starts the requestor, them pops a user/pass dialog where i enter the credentials for the only 2 accounts on the xp machine, (administrator with its password and another accoutn with no pw) and with both accoutns i get a failure to login. When I try and use various options in Connections icon on the desktop, I can't seem to get connected either. The one that looks most correct is Connections\Network\File and Print Resource Browser, however I can't find seem to change the network to log into. it has "LS" listes as the Network to log into however I can't seem to find where to change this. I think this would need to be the workgroup that the XP machine is part of??? Anyway the XP machine is part of workgroup "MShome", its machine name is "Dog" and the share is "Documents". Can anyone tell my how to mount a drive on the xp machine??? Many thx! |

| I believe you will have to use the same workgroup for the XP and the os2 machine. Are they in the same workgroup? |
