Subject: OS/2 connection to Netserver. ????? can it be done?

I am looking for any help I can get connecting an OS/2 Workstation to an
AS/400 NetServer Share.� I have tried several different tactics to make
this
connection, but I know I am missing some minor little thing.� Windows NT
Workstations can connect to the Netserver shares without any trouble.� When
I try to make the same connection with an OS/2 workstation I receive a
SYS0058 message.

������� [C:\IBMCOM]net view \\NETSERVER
������� NET3502: OS/2 error 58 has occurred.
������� SYS0058: The specified server cannot perform the requested
operation.

������� [C:\IBMCOM]help sys0058

������� SYS0058: The specified server cannot perform the requested
operation.

������� EXPLANATION: You are attempting an operation that cannot be
performed
������� by the specified server.

������� ACTION: Make sure that you have specified the correct computer name
������� and command, then retry the command.� If you continue to have
problems,
������� contact your network administrator.

I have tried to make this connection on more than one AS/400.� I can
connect
to a couple systems using the exact same configurations.� On the two
systems
that work one system is running v4r2m0 and the other is running v4r4m0.
The
two systems that cannot make the a similar connection are running v4r4m0.
Unless I'm just missing something all three systems are configured
similarly.

I haved configured the OS/2 workstation to use use the SMB (Server Message
Block) Protocol to communicate via NetBIOS over TCP/IP.� Since the
Netserver
is not currently defined in a DNS or Shadow Server, I added an entry to the
RFCNAMES.LST File.� Just incase there was an authority issue communicating
to the AS/400 via OS/2, I created a local user priofile on the OS/2 System
using the same ID and password that is on the AS/400.

I don't know if there is a specefic server or service that can be checked
on
the AS/400.

Thanks for any Help,

James W. Bradley
