Very Computer

I have two machines that I am networking together, a 486DX66 with Red Hat
Linux 5.1 and a triple boot Pentium 166 with RH 5.1, OS/2 and that other OS.
I have managed to get the two boxes to talk together happily over TCP/IP with
the Pentium booted to Linux.  I have gotten both NFS and IP forwarding to work
well (modem on the Pentium.)  
However, when I boot the Pentium box to OS/2, I can't seem to get things
configured properly.  I am using TCP/IP 4.1 and WR08610B.  The NIC seems to be
detected properly, but the following config.sys statements do not load:

DEVICE=F:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBEUI.OS2
DEVICE=F:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\TCPBEUI.OS2
IFS=F:\IBMLAN\NETPROG\NETWKSTA.200 /I:F:\IBMLAN /N
DEVICE=F:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\NETBIOS.OS2
DEVICE=F:\IBMCOM\PROTOCOL\LANVDD.OS2

Is there a particular order that these and related statements should be listed
in the config.sys?  I am a networking newby, so if someone could give me some
pointers, I would appreciate it.

Use MPTS Configuration program and set the IFType to 6.  The
configuration program will put the device statements in the order that
they should appear.

Todd.. I've long wondered where I could read documentation on the IFType
definitions...

I'll be the first to admit that it's probably in the DOCs right under
me noes and yes, I've even printed the whole section in the OS/2 stuff
on the network..  Just may have missed it.. whatever...  I've made a lot
of errors and missed seeing lots of things in my life...

Would you be so kind to point me to where I can study this?   If it's
simple, and just something you can read into a reply here, posting it
here might do a lot of good...

Thanks if you can help...

That didn't seem to do anything.

Removing/reinstalling the File & Print client often clears a lot of
problems.

Below is the networking stuff in my Connect config.sys; note that I'm
using Netbios to talk to a Lanserver, and TCP/IP to talk to some Unix
boxes.  You can probably edit out about half these lines - the question
is, which half?

Can you help me, I whant some information about the virtual memory
management of OS/2.

Please write me back soon thanks.
