PPP, dialin and Networks

[Jeff Walls]

I have successfully gotten MSTPPP (2.1.1) and a W95 PC to connect. I can
ping the SCO box, ftp to and from it, and ping other PC's on the TCP
network.

What I need now, is to access visionfs like I was locally attached to the
network, as the other PC's do. I need to map a network drive that is a
shared directory on the SCO box, and pick up email using Outlook.

What little secrets am I missing?

Probably just lack of a C:\windows\lmhosts.

You should have an LMHOSTS.SAM, that's a sample that shows
all the mysteries of its proper configuration. Here's an
example that happens to use an NT server for validation but
the SCO server is running visionfs:

10.1.1.1 NTSERV1 #PRE #DOM:THISDOM
10.1.1.1 "THISDOM \0x1b" #PRE
10.1.1.2 SCOSERV1 #PRE

Read the lmhosts.sam file carefully..spacing is critical on
that 0x1b line.
