:-)
>(1) Peer-to-peer network--what protocol do I use on each box?
It depends on the systems you are connecting too. You can use either
TCPBEUI or NETBEUI (aka NETBIOS). What does MTPS say you have installed?
With windows, you might need to install NetBIOS to get NETBEUI support.
>(2) What utility do I then use to set up shares and connections?
Use the sharing and connecting notebook or define them in a script that
runs at startup. At the command line, you use the NET commands.
>(3) Do these shares stick through reboots with or without all the

It depends on how you define them. Spend some quality time with the
Sharing and Connecting notebook and look at the startup options.

Not if it already exists.

There's a Peer User's Guide and other docs. Check the Information folder.
FWIW, the major difference between your old Novell system and Peer is how
authentication is handled. Novell, like WSeB and LAN Server have
centralized authentication. Peer has decentralized authentication. Both
have their benefits.
