Steve:

Thanks for your quick response. I previously thought about the possibility that my 98
machine could be on a separate network segment (called "Domains" in OS/2 NetBEUI
and "Workgroups" in Windows NetBIOS). I tried/hoped to get around that issue by
simply using the same domain/workgroup name on all the computers.

I wonder if there are may be 2 other solutions? Specifically:

3. Use TCPBEUI on adapter #2 on the OS/2 machine and on the
Windows 98 machine, only. I don't care too much about file and print sharing between
the 98 and XP machines. And I don't want to expose my XP and OS/2 machines to file
sharing hackers on the Internet; or:

4. Use the "Other Domains" parameter in the IBMLAN.INI file
("othdomains = X2", for example) and then rename the workgroup parameter on the 98
machine to "X2"

What do you think?
