- NT Domains and LAN Manager 2.x domains are not quite the same thing.
- All you need to do to get cooperation between your NT machine and
- your LAN Manager domain is to set the NT machine to a workgroup
- name the same as the LAN Manager domain name. You will then be able
- to connect to your LAN Manager resources. Sometimes the network
- browser doesn't find the LAN Manager servers at first so you may have
- to type in the UNC names of shares rather than point and click to get them.
-
- You will also find that NT File Manager can manage shares and permissions
- on the LAN Manager Servers.
