Lanman takes the place of pnw when you run lanman instead of pnw, is that right? but if i needed pnw to keep up the preexisting network, can lan man run along with pnw? what is the advan of lan man instead of pnw, in the case where i need a win 98se computer to get access to the dos files. also, I think i have heard that win98 would need to be the server, that pnw cannot be the server when connecting to a win 98se computer. Is ms client a better choice. genrally what i really need is a win 98se machine to connect to the server of a pre existing peer to peer pnw network. i just need the win machine to pick files off the dos server over twisted pair. what protocols are available. is there a web site to hand hold me thorugh this. i hope not to buy a new product for the entire project, just hang a win box off the preexisting little network. I have gained alot from previous tips on this topic, hopefully i am close to changing the subject back to something else. thank many times. rich w -----Original Message----- From: root AT swan DOT mail DOT pas DOT earthlink DOT net [mailto:root AT swan DOT mail DOT pas DOT earthlink DOT net]On Behalf Of Thomas A Webb Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2001 3:49 PM To: opendos AT delorie DOT com Subject: Re: networking with dos SMB protcol support is what gets you connectivity between DOS, Win9x, and NT (and that's what LanManager gives you). You should have the four-disk series to Install it on your lap-top. Make sure you've defined "shares" on your Win9x machine so that your Dos machine can get to them. The shares should be set to "share - public between machines. Pepino Voorhoeve wrote: > > On Tue, 01 May 2001 13:33:44 -0600, Thomas A Webb wrote: > > >I must be missing something..
