If you didn't change the OS/2 configuration, there should something be wrong with the setup of your fedora boxes. As a basic task you should verify that you can ping each fedora box (and the OS/2 server). You may check: - can you make a ping on each fedora box to its own address (that is checking the basic tcp/ip setup) - check the file /var/log/messages (use the program less) for any error or warning messages regarding the ethernet cards or the network in general > The OS/2 box is 192.168.1.1 and laptops are 2, 3, and so on.

In principle you must activate ipgate on on the OS/2 box (/mptn/bin/setup.cmd) but you should have done that before, otherwise your Win98 / OS/2 client configuration should not have been worked. The OS/2 box must be the default gateway for your Fedora boxes and you are done with internet access. To access files and printers on the OS/2 box you must activate tcpbeui (netbios over tcp) on the OS/2 box which is a little bit tricky if you haven't done it before (you didn't need it for OS/2 or Win98 clients). On the Fedora boxes you must install and configure samba client. Good luck Peter
