As also noted otherwise you MUST remove NetBIOS over TCP/IP before trying the Samba Server. Nevertheless you just have to backup 3 files in order to get back to you previous status. So, for a quick try of the Samba Server, do the following: • Create backups of \ibmcom\protocol.ini, \ibmlan\ibmlan.ini and config.sys. • Run MPTS to remove NetBIOS over TCP/IP protocol. Note: Setting UNIXROOT now is a good idea! • Reboot. • Try Samba Server for eCS(OS/2) In case you want to go back: • Uninstall Samba Server for eCS(OS/2) • Copy the backups of \ibmcom\protocol.ini, \ibmlan\ibmlan.ini and config.sys over the current versions. • Reboot. You are back where you were before trying Samba.
