OS/2 clients are unable to browse available resources on Microsoft Networks due to a LAN Manager parameter
called lmannounce. This parameter defines the response to LAN Manager 2.x browser broadcasts. The default
response is to ignore these broadcasts. However, the net view command can show resources when the resource is
specified as follows: "net view \resource". If the command "net view" is used, nothing will show except your
workstation or other OS/2 Servers/Workstations on your network. The Window's servers and workstations will have
to have their default settings changed as outlined below to enable browsing from OS/2.
Windows for Work Groups:
The parameter "lmannounce=yes" will have to be added in the [network] section of the system.ini file.
Windows 95:
The parameter "LMAnnounce" is in located in Network settings under File and Print sharing properties.
Windows NT 4.0 Server:
In Network settings, Services, Server, select the Make Browser Broadcasts to LAN Manager 2.x clients at the
bottom of the dialog page.
Windows NT Workstation:
Users will have to manually modify the Lmannounce entry in the registry. The entry is as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESSystemCurrentControlSetServicesLanmanServerParameters
This setting will have to be changed from the default of 0 to 1. The regedt32.exe program will have to be used for
the above procedure. Regedt32.exe is located in WINNTSYSTEM32.
