Hi and HELP, HELP, HELP:

I need some help in setting up my LAN. I have NEVER configured a
computer for a LAN and that's the problem. I looked at Mike Rakijas's
SCOUG presentation, "Networking Your House". It appears to be written
from the viewpoint of already having at least 2 computers talking and
working together in a network and not from the viewpoint of installing
the network from scratch (my take on his presentation; he talks about
testing out the installed cabling, using a known and working network
setup between 2 computers).

Here's my situation:

1. I've installed Ethernet cabling throughout the house. I've tested
the installed cables for end-to-end continuity in all the wires.

2. I've installed a NIC in my OS/2 computer. The driver appears to be
installed, because I see it showing up at bootup. Also, it shows up
under the "MPTS Network Adapters and Protocol Services" as "Configured"
for "LAN adapters and protocols".

3. Now, I want to complete the job of installing the network on my OS/2
computer and then test it out. To test I will use a direct Ethernet
connection to a Windose machine in another room (using a cross-over
patch cable, temporarily attached to the other machine)

Can someone please instruct me as to the steps I need to take on my OS/2
machine? Do I need to use the OS/2 installation CD-ROM and install "File
and Print Client"? Do I need to install anything else, such as NetBIOS?
A simple outline of the steps that I need to take would really be
appreciated. Thank you in advance.
HCM
