Yet, I assumed, and continue to think that WfW (which we in the Team OS/2 referred to as "Windows for Warehouses") included only NETBIOS/Netbeui/IPX protocols as the base for "Peer to peer" LAN networking (printer sharing, disk sharing), but not TCP/IP. Where to get TCP/IP for WfW 3.11 ? http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/1998-July/007965.html http://stason.org/TULARC/os/windows-winsock/11-Microsoft-TCP-IP-32.html "This is Microsoft's stack for use with Windows NT or Windows for Workgroups 3.11.
