I think I understand what you are saying although I am still a novice at this
networking stuff. I only have TCP/IP and NETBIOS, not NETBIOS over TCP/IP. I
guess I was thrown off because it works on the wired LAN and sortof works on
the Linksys wireless but not on the internal wireless.
I will reconfigure the system using MPTS and replace NETBIOS with NETBIOS over
TCP/IP, I do not think I need both (OS/2 systems on both ends of the LAN). The
reason for not having all three protocols on each interface is because I could
not get the protocol numbers assigned so the MPTS would save the configuration.
