Subject:	SCOUG-Help: ecs peer2peer problem

Content Type: text/plain

I've seen this problem before but can't seem to figure it out this time.

My T-61 (rc5) works fine with peer connecting to other ecs machines, both eCS v 1.1 & 1.2.

But no machines connect to the T61. I have a share defined and I am using same login ID &
password on all machines.

The connection on the T-61 is wireless (genmac 2.20) to a linksys wrt54g which is used as an access
point inside the network (it's not used as the internet connection) and AFAIK is not blocking ports
137-139. I did not install the os/2 firewall with eCS. I have the same problem if I connect via
cat-5.

The requester, messenger, & peer are running on all machines.

[C:\HOME\DEFAULT]net view \\8bells
NET3502: OS/2 error 53 has occurred.
SYS0053: The network path was not found.

An iptrace of this command shows the originating ip sending a netbios udp packet to the T-61 on
port 137 but the T-61 does not answer. The source then drops to the MAC level sending arp requests
until it gets to 192.168.1.0 then it starts over again with the netbios request to the T-61.

I've checked the ibmlan.ini file, server is not hidden.
I've checked protocol.ini, it seems ok.

I've checked rfcnames & rfcbroadcast.

I'm fresh out of ideas.

Again, I can 'net use' from the T-61 to other computers, but not from other computers to the T-61.

What else to check? What is likely preventing the T-61 from replying to net commands?

Thanks, Jon
