I may have missed the question, but isn't this an in-house network where
security is not an issue? That is my case and I just set every shared
drive for basic/read write. Those drives are now there for the taking
for any machine I connect.

The only thing I have had to do to get Win to connect was to get the
proper protocols on the Win side, nothing special on the OS/2 side.

And I have never had to fiddle with any configuration files, everything
was done in Connections. It should also show if things are working. As
you may have noticed, I barely know what a command line is.
