Is it the "server-list"? A deamon is a "server" program... Like an FTP Daemon... Finger Daemon... Those are programs which handle incoming FTP or incoming Finger requests. You don't hear the term daemon used very much... I only use it because with OS/2 Warp connect and v4, you run FTPD if you want to allow incoming ftp sessions... and guess what the "D" stands for? :) > MN> OS/2 Warp Connect, or OS/2 v4.0 comes with all that you need... in > MN> '95 > MN> only comes with client software...

I see :) No wonder I coudn't determine whether it worked ot not :) Bu > du you actually mean that I cannot make a peer-to-peer network with Win95 an > OS/2 with what they come with? Peer to Peer is different then TCP/IP... If you set up TCP/IP in your home or office, and you are not connected to the internet, yet you want to share resources and such, you set yourself up an Intranet. It's like your own mini Internet all to yourself. But you need a server to do that. Something to run your FTP daemon, HTTP Server, Telnet Daemon etc... Peer to Peer is different in that it uses Netbios/Netbeui rather then TCP/IP. With Netbios you can remap drive letters, share printers (well, TCP/IP allows printer sharing, but it's no where NEAR as easy as netbeui) etc... Most people in their own homes network with Netbeui... I do both. I run OS/2 v4, NT Server v4, and Win '95. On 3 different machines, all networked, and all working nicely together. And I run Netbeui and TCP/IP, and have myself a cute little intranet setup, as well as filesharing and printsharing via netbeui. Win '95 will network with OS/2, but there's a catch... You need to set Win '95 to "LM ANNOUNCE=NO" needs to =YES, and "Browseable=Automatic" needs to equal YES. These are both on the same tab, in the same folder under Network in your control panel. If you leave them as the defaults, then OS/2 will not be able to see the Win '95 machine, but Win '95 can see, and use, the OS/2 machine. > Well, I got LANtastic for Win95 and LANtastic for OS/2, and now it's just > working perfectly, but thanks for explaining me. I just migt give TCP/IP set > another try later on! Lantastic sucks... I did that once... Heck, I bought the Lantastic v6.0 starter kit... I like the 2 artisoft SI/2000/C NIC's I got, but Lantastic was doing 125k/sec thruput across my lan, and didn't offer TCP/IP support. Another little tid-bit... If you run lantastic, you can not load ANY win '95 networking stuff... It's one or the other... So running Lantastic, and then putting up Win '95 TCP/IP is not an option... But that didn't bother me as much as the 125k/sec read and writes I got... Using Win'95 and OS/2 v4 out of the box to connect to each other using peer services, I do 350k/sec writes, and 500k/sec reads. TCP/IP via FTP transfers does almost 800k/sec. Nope, not me... no more lantastic... and nothing nice to say about it... Especially the Lantastic v1.0 for OS/2 that I wasted my money on... -- Mack --- TRWMail v3 * Origin: [T]he [R]eal [W]orld BBS - OS/2 - Washington State (1:350/36) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 207 OS2 LAN Ref: DE^00005 Date: 10/29/96 From: JERRY NEELY Time: 06:57am \/To: WARREN KING (Read 3 times) Subj: WARP & Lantastic 7.0 WK>WK>Is there any way to get Lantastic 7.0 to work with WARP 3.0 (blue spine)?

If you won't have any PM applications to run, you could take a look at a free text based replacement shell from IBM called TShell.
