  I have got OS/2 to access Linux Samba following the instructions in
Redhat Linux 6.2
/usr/doc/samba-2.0.6/docs/textdocs/OS2-CLIENT-HOWTO.txt and the web
page it points to.  The critical lines to add in IBMLAN.ini are:

        net2 = TCPBEUI$,2,LM10,100,150,14
in the [networks] section and
       wrknets = NET1,NET2
in the [requester] section

  The existing line in IBMLAN.ini remained as:
        net1 = NETBEUI$,1,LM10,100,150,14

  However, I have an existing setup where I would like to be able to 
use OS/2 as the server and Linux as the client.  The Linux command:

    smbclient -L os2machine
always gives an error message:
Session request to os2machine failed (code 0)

Similarly nmblookup -B os2machine '*'
gives the message:
name_query failed to find name *

  The same commands to access a Win95 machine works fine.

  Does anyone here know how to solve this problem?
