[pmmail-list] Exporting fromm PMM to Outlook?

[Don Buska]

Paul,

I'm confused.  I've always been under the impression that NETBIOS and
NETBEUI were essentially the same.  MS calls it NETBEUI and IBM calls it
NETBIOS.  You can have NETBIOS (MPTS) over TCPIP (TCPIP) on the OS/2 side
and NETBEUI on the server side and all works fine for file services.  I've
done it for years.  I may have both NETBIOS and NETBIOS over TCPIP running,
but some say the NETBIOS alone really isn't needed.  My problem is I no
longer have NETBEUI on the server side with their new WIN2003 servers.  So
my OS/2 machine will no longer see the drive/folders/files on the server.

My problem is with NETBEUI gone from the WIN servers OS/2 is no longer a
viable client in the MS world.

Regards,

Don
