XP connection to OS/2

We have some OS/2 development machines in our office due to legacy
systems in the field.

On NT I can easily map to a shared drive on OS/2. From a co-workers
XP Pro machine, I can also map to this same OS/2 drive with my user
account.

On my XP Pro ( Embedded ), I can not connect to this shared drive.
Most of the time I can not see the drive and I get the error "Network
path was not found"

However, I was able to get Access Denied a couple times. In this
case, I then tried to use the /user:domain parameter of NET USE, but
this resulted in another network error. I believe it was more generic
and stated something like "a network error occurred"

My machine and the machine that was able to connect has NetBEUI
installed since the OS/2 machine in question has OS/2 Warp Version 3
which does not have TCP/IP. It is that old...

I have tried unbinding various things on my machine and that hasn't
helped. I do have an onboard NIC and a NIC card. I seemed to get
more chances to connect when I was using the NIC Card rarther than the
onboard NIC. Both are setup for DNS and DHCP.

Any ideas?

And the embedded machine can connect to other Windows machines OK? Over
NetBEUI?
 
Well I cant necessarily answer that. My XPE machine can connect to
all other servers, NT, and 2k, but I am sure it is using TCP/IP.

I have TCP/IP and NetBEUI installed.

And the embedded machine can connect to other Windows machines OK? Over
NetBEUI?

I'm guessing here as I only have vague memories of using NetBEUI or OS/2.
Are either of the machines multihomed (connected to multiple networks)?
