I don't get it. I have tried with the built in SIS 900 lan adapter and
with a Linksys LN100TX. Same result on both.I even copied other IBMCOM
and IBMLAN from other working machines to see if it was a setting or
driver problem. No dice. I can access the internet fine, but no local
lan access.
I must be missing something basic. Any thoughts?

I saw this happen with a Linksys card, too - can't comment on the SIS.
Problems were gone when I went with Intel PRO/100 cards...
What are your MPTS and Peer fix levels??
I had similar problem on a totally different machine/NIC. That was
virgin OS/2 Warp 4 install (no FP), and I let IBM Peer install on it.
It pretended to work, :-) however, the symptoms you describe were very
similar (I was getting NET0053 error IIRC the number). I figured out
that this has something to do with IBM Peer's install of MPTS - it
just doesn't work well sometimes and the MPTS installation is screwed
some way. The solution was simple:
1. Remove all networking
2. Install MPTS first by MPTS installer
3. Install Peer and tell the installer to keep MPTS already installed
And lo, Peer started to work like a charm ;-)

The Sis900 adapter is not the badest - but the NIC you gets for is
really crap.
There is a beta NIC under work that will help when it goes GA, as it
even as it is BETA works better than the sis900. I can say nothing
about the LN100TX because I doesn't own such kind.

is any editing in the config.sys needed???? my networking is messed up
too, can't log in
Awhile back, I set the peer network up, but was never able to get the
networking thing going with the windows machine and vice versa..
Not really, simply go in to "System Setup" then "Install/Remove", and
select "Remove Installation for Networking". Reboot, you *may* have
to hit enter through a line or two (or three), then drop the CD in the
tray and go to town.
BTW - you are using Warp 4 or WSeB or MCP or...? And you have not
installed TCP/IP 4.1 or newer??
And, you may want to grab the latest drivers for whatever NIC you
are going to be using (I suspect you have probably already done that),
so that during the re-install you can load them up...
Thanks,
Keith

I'm using MCP2 (warp 4.52). as far as drivers for 3com nic, I'm using
the latest as far as I know.
It is possible to remove peer networking by peer installer.

I fiddled around for quite a long time getting OS/2 4.52 to talk to a
samba 3.0x server on my linux box. I was able to get it to mostly work.
The best way to connect to the samba server is to use the "net use" command.
I think OS/2 tries to connect to the samba server when it boots because
I get a ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR) Invalid argument from the NBTCP.EXE when
OS/2 boots. In a nutshell OS/2 does not seem to be able to use samba on
the Linux box as a domain controller. I am not sure of my terminology
here so please bear with me.
The other thing is I can use command line tools to access the files and
directories made available via samba, but the OS/2 GUI does not show any
files. When the file dialog is used the samba drive can be accessed though.
