Hello All.

I have 2 Win 7 pro machines. I have 2 OS/2 machines. One of the Win 7 machines
can map and read/write to the OS/2 machines' drives with no problem. The other one can map and see the OS/2 machines' drives and can identify the type of drive format, be-it HPFS or JFS with no problem. However it cannot read or write from any of those drives on either OS/2 machine, saying that the "server cannot perform the requested command" or something real close to that.

NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on both the Win7 machines. The file sharing settings are the same, yet that one machine simply can't access the mapped drives to read or write the contents.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Marc

take a look at start/system/systeminformation -> version

Do you use on the OS/2 machines the peer requester or smbfs?

If you use the peer requester, there is no chance to get win7 and OS/2 networking together. If you use smbfs, at one point, somewhere about 5 jears ago, a patch disabled the old ntlmv1 features with win7. you have to enable them manually, but you also have to disable the password encryption of win7 netbios stack. But, if you update your win7 computers, all settings will deleted again.

Ahm, I'm described the problem already in os2.ger. Maybe I find the patch and the reg-cmds for win7.

But, it is more comftable and safe to get rid of peer requester and the old smbfs system of OS/2. Just deinstall the stuff, get the samba4 fileserver from netlabs. Be sure to fetch and install samba4. samba3 isn't longer supportet with newer updates of win7.

To give a proper answer, I need some more information about your setting. ;-)

Anyway, it is a OS/2 problem, not a windows problem. ;-)
You get this problem as well, if you use linux above kernel 2.4.x and bsd above
version 7.x.x

Marc

You're absolutely correct. The Win 7 machine that could formerly read/write to the OS/2 machines can no longer do so after a bunch of updates that were installed yesterday.

I have twice-over installed the Samba suite on one machine but cannot run the configuration program due to an installer error. It reports back when trying to open it "Cannot load window: Could not find class 'VRTabbedDialog'." I'm afraid that I don't know enough to correct this issue. Can you help?

I have not attempted to install it on the second OS/2 machine until I can get it to work on this one. Hopefully either you or someone else will have some input on a solution.

I believe it would be better to continue this thread in the OS/2 Echo; I'm going to cross post it there.

Best regards,
Marc

Most of my Windows Update problems get fixed by running this (on Win7Pro 64-bit):
