File Sharing between OS2 Warp 4 and Windows XP

**Anilrgowda** · 10-Jul-2007, 04:33 PM

I am attempting to share files located on an OS2 Warp 4 workstation. I have shared the directory and give all users full access. I have made sure the Requestor service is running, and that the OS2 workstation is logged on to the LAN.

In the IBMLAN.INI file, there is a parameter for DOMAIN. I have filled this in with the Windows domain name, and have tried it with just a generic name. Another similarly configured OS2 workstation is able to see the files in the shared directory, but none of the Windows machine are able to see it in the browser, or able to connect to it using the UNC.

TCP/IP is installed on both OS2 machines, as is Netbios. I have installed Netbios on the Windows machines, but they still cannot see the shared directory. All machines are on the same network, and a ping command works fine.

Example, network name in IBMLAN file is BOXA.
Directory that is shared is C:\TEST
Both OS2 workstation can see each other's shared files by typing \\BOXA\TEST from a command prompt.

I have a similar setup at another location, and it functions fine. For some reason, this particular setup does not work.

a lot of situations could cause this, for example, see the following search results:

XP - Google Search"The+Network+Path+Was+Not+Found"+site%3Asupport.microsoft.com

BTW, have you applied the latest SP2 on your XP?
