+Q. How can I configure OS/2 Warp Connect or OS/2 Warp 4 as a client for Samba?
+
+A. A more complete answer to this question can be found on:
+ http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/warp.html
+
+ Basically, you need three components:
+
+ * The File and Print Client ('IBM Peer')
+ * TCP/IP ('Internet support')
+ * The "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" driver ('TCPBEUI')
+
+ Installing the first two together with the base operating system on a blank
+ system is explained in the Warp manual. If Warp has already been installed,
+ but you now want to install the networking support, use the "Selective
+ Install for Networking" object in the "System Setup" folder.
+
+ Adding the "NetBIOS over TCP/IP" driver is not described in the manual and
+ just barely in the online documentation. Start MPTS.EXE, click on OK, click
+ on "Configure LAPS" and click on "IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP" in
+ 'Protocols'. This line is then moved to 'Current Configuration'. Select
+ that line, click on "Change number" and increase it from 0 to 1. Save this
+ configuration.
+
+ If the Samba server(s) is not on your local subnet, you can optionally add
+ IP names and addresses of these servers to the "Names List", or specify a
+ WINS server ('NetBIOS Nameserver' in IBM and RFC terminology). For Warp
+ Connect you may need to download an update for 'IBM Peer' to bring it on
+ the same level as Warp 4. See the webpage mentioned above.
+
+
+Q. How can I configure OS/2 Warp 3 (not Connect), OS/2 1.2, 1.3 or 2.x for
+ Samba?
+
+A. You can use the free Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2c Client for OS/2 from
+ ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/BusSys/Clients/LANMAN.OS2/
+ See http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/lanman.html for more information on
+ how to install and use this client. In a nutshell, edit the file \OS2VER
+ in the root directory of the OS/2 boot partition and add the lines
+
+ 20=setup.exe
+ 20=netwksta.sys
+ 20=netvdd.sys
+
+ before you install the client. Also, don't use the included NE2000 driver
+ because it is buggy. Try the NE2000 or NS2000 driver from
+ <a href="ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/network/ndis/">
+ ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/os2/network/ndis/</a> instead.
+
+
+Q. Are there any other issues when OS/2 (any version) is used as a client?
+
+A. When you do a NET VIEW or use the "File and Print Client Resource Browser",
+ no Samba servers show up. This can be fixed by a patch from
+ http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/fix.html
+ The patch will be included in a later version of Samba. It also fixes a
+ couple of other problems, such as preserving long filenames when objects
+ are dragged from the Workplace Shell to the Samba server.
