IBM lan requester

[Bart]

Gunter asked me to try accessing our Linux server with IBM lan requester (as
opposed to Netdrive)
I tried this before without success. I thought that my NetBIOS protocol might
have been the culprit, so I changed it to NetBios over TCPIP, but I still can't
see the server, i.e NET VIEW
BTW, the netdrive app is still active, should I remove the samba plugin before
trying IBM lan?
What am I doing wrong?

The presence of it can't be the problem - as long as no active
connections are there neither the presence of Netdrive/EVFS nor the
presence of the plugin can affect the LAN Requester.

My best guess would be that either the server or the Requester are
misconfigured....

Kind regards,

Thanks Herwig

For OS/2 lan support my smb.cong has:
lm announce = yes
lanman auth = yes

All the eCS PC's here were all working properly with OS/2 Lan before I switched
to samba. So I think they are still configured properly.



Off topic,
I have one XP machine in my office :(
Is "wins support = yes" req'd for access to the samba server?
I also have these settings which I'm not sure if they matter...
workgroup = WORKGROUP should this match the setting on the XP client?
; netbios name = MYSERVER do I need to enable this?

Thanks
