Since I can not get it working, using TCPBEUI I think I will try and go back to
NETBIOS and see what I can do.  At least it works on the wired LAN connection.

Can anyone tell me why using TCPBEUI is any better than using NETBIOS?


     

If you need to do file and print sharing through a router,  I need this at work.  Or if you want long filename support on your OS/2 Box from a windoze share.  Also some Wifi routers won't pass Netbios packets.
   

I am not using a router.  Windows works (my wife's machine), I am trying to get
OS/2 to share files and a printer over the wireless NIC, not much luck at this
point.  My gateway machine (OS/2) has TCP/IP, NETBIOS, and TCPBEUI on the NIC
for my home LAN, the NIC to my broadband connection only has TCP/IP to keep
netbois from getting out of my gateway.


 

Is there any way to tell what protocols have been bound to an interface, it
might make trouble shooting this a little easier?



     

Look in MPTS.
   

That only tells you what you configured, not what is actually been bound to the
adapter.  According to Frank if the interface does not have an IP then TCPBEUI
will not be bound.
