Hi:
I'm passing on some information that I discovered by reading various online help on
the File and Print Client. This solves a problem that I was having with my new ECS
setup. And that was:

From my ECS machine I could see the shares on my Windows XP and 98
machines, but not vise-versa.

The problem was the NET.ACC file (located in ...\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\)

I guess, when I installed File and Print Client during the ECS installation, I did not
uncheck the "Delete UserID database" option in the configuration installation window
for File and Print Client.

In my case I was able to solve this problem by substituting my NET.ACC file from my
previous Warp 4 installation (where File and Print Client work correctly between all the
boxes).

I refer you to the following website:

Hope this helps someone!
