For the purposes of this discussion, this is true.

No, no, no. These are different protocols. They do not talk.

Not as described you haven't, because it doesn't work.

On which end? If the windoze end, then the only protocol common to both 
machines is Netbios over TCP/IP. Netbios would have been unused. So why 
is the loss of it at the server end a problem?

But you didn't say you had it installed on OS/2. So, presumably you 
were previously using Netbeui on both ends? In which case, if you have 
now lost access then, there is something wrong with your Netbios over 
TCP/IP setup on OS/2.

So setup a common protocol that both ends have. This should be Netbios 
over TCP/IP on BOTH ends.

This is blatantly untrue and I really resent comments like this.

I suspect you are somewhat confused as to what you've got installed 
where and how it's been working. Speculating further at this stage is 
pointless.
