Hi Peter,
What result do you get with just "net view" from OS/2 [tower]? Should 
show everything that is visible.
I don't have any system up currently with W2K so can't look at present - 
but I seem to remember that you have to set up the privileges on the WIn 
machine in a different area to the Control Panel User area - have a RMB 
on the Drive you want to share - I think you have to specify in detail 
the same privileges as the Administrator itself.
On the Tower under OS/2 is the XP-user the "Administrator" one?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks everyone,
The wxtaskb3 widget works great.
Now I can kill those errant tasks.

Hi All,

Just what can HTML, java or javascript do to your system?  All my jpg files now have a 
padlock as the icon, and this has just happened after being online, and I KNOW I didn't 
change them.  How can I stop this from happening again?

Hi Gavin,
Looks like "something" has changed your association to jpegs from what 
it was to itself. What does your e.g. Netscape [or later] or other 
Browser you use say about jpeg file associations?
Regards,
Mike

It is possible to network using TCPIP however Netbeui is MUCH simpler, so I'll concentrate on that.

Sounds to me like one of the machine is not running NETBEUI. I think you said earlier that you installed NETBEUI on the XP box. Did you have to manuly copy some files from your XP install CD before you could install the protocol ? If not you have not installed it. The IPX/SPX/Netbeui type protocol is for Novell
networking, if that's what you've installed, it won't help in this situation.

Cheers/2

Here is a link to the information on how to "retro-fit" Netbeui to
Windows XP from M$ themselves:
