- I tried both MS LanMan client 1.X and 2.X with our HPUX server running
- version 1.X LanManager LM/X over TCP/IP with WfWG for a couple of days with
- some assistance from people from various notes groups, but no success.

-
- I'v seen similar efects. As a matter of fact these intermittent operation
- (non working is the default for me) is verry confusing trying to find a
- viable way to get WfWG to use TCP/IP: Once you succeed after a given
- modification, you are tempeted to hope, that you've made it and the last
- modification was the essential one, but ... :-(
-
- I'm still interested to get WfWG working with LM/X over TCP/IP.
