That's an odd one unless you are trying to access shared resources on a
WinXX box that has long file names. There's some magic to convincing
WinXX the tell OS/2 that it supports long file names. Even then it's not
possible to do long file names on all flavors of WinXX.

This really does not sound like your problem.

Did you install the Peer fixpak?

The 3COM is a good choice. It's got better performance and better drivers
than the Linksys.

It depends on the components you want to install. If you attempt to
reinstall Peer after applying MPTS fixes, the Peer install will fail.
There's a work around where you run the peerrmt off the CD and tell it the
leave MPTS alone. That's the worst glitch.
