Richard A. Bilonick has the following problem:

I'm using OS/2 Warp 4 with Netware for printing.
Unfortunately, Netware is going away and
I need to print via TCP/IP (I guess using
Netbios over TCP/IP). I can't get into
the Lan Server - it keeps asking for
a password which I've long since forgotten.
I want to use a NET command but I can't
because of the password. Is there some
way to reset the passwords?

I tried to use the following to set up
an existing printer object:

NET USE LPT2: \\RBILONICK\HPLaser1

but I keep getting an error message. I
thought that \\server is supposed to be
the name of the workstation and \printer
is the printer object name of a printer
object that I created to use with Netware.

By the way, I can ping the printer. I've tried
using the IP address for \printer but
that doesn't seem to work. Is there a
simpler way to connect to a TCP/IP networked
printer? Why isn't the IP address used?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
