- My guess is, that the two machines aren't in the same workgroup. When you
- setup NT, you asked to choose a domain or workgroup. Domain won't work
- until you have LAN-Manager for NT, so choose workgroup and enter the
- same name on both machines. You can change this later by choosing Network
- from the Control Panel, click the advanced button and then click the
- domain button. You then have the chance to change the workgroup name.
- For testing you can do some disk sharing using the NT command shell.
- Go to the MSDOS-Prompt (which actually isn't an MSDOS-Prompt) and
- type NET START on both machines. You should see, that LanmanWorkstation
- and LanmanServer are started. If not, there is something wrong. Try
- NET START RDR and NET START SERVER to start the services manually.
- Then type NET SHARE MYSHARE=C:\ on the first machine. This should
- make the entire C: drive available on the network. Then type
- NET USE T: \\<your machine name>\MYSHARE on the other machine.
- Replace <your machine name> with the name you assigned to your first
- machine. If everything works, the T: drive on the second machine should
- actually be the C: drive of the first machine.

- File and printer sharing is fully included (client and server). ARPA-Service
- Daemons TELNETD, FTPD, etc. are not (and will not be) included. You only have
- clients. But if you take a look on previous postings to this group, you will
- see, that many people are currently working on PD/Shareware Implementations
- for these Daemons.
