Is it supposed to be included with the OS? - If so we have all been
"done" ;-)
You need to contact the guys at https://www.bitwiseworks.com/ to get a download link for OO - I seem to recall it requires a small donation.
I can see remote machines and can connect to them (it's just a matter
of sorting out the usual settings and incompatibilities between
various OS's). OS/2 to XP works as does OS/2 to Linux. You can forget
OS/2 to Win 7 or later. I don't know what the state is of Samba on
ArcaOS though. I know there was work going on with it.

I have ArcaOS 5.0 running under VBox for Mac. Haven't done much but got
sound to work by switching to the ICH AC97 Audio under VBox settings.
When I find time I have a few older Thinkpads (T42p, T61, and an X201)
I'm going to try, but for me the problem is the lack of WiFi support.
I've been told that better Wireless drivers are in the plan, but effort
has been focused on getting the basics done. Have to say this was the easiest OS/2 install (other than the audio issue which was quickly
rectified) that I have ever done.

Yes, the installation went much better than my eComStation 21. I, too, really need them to support wireless quickly! I have all Thinkpads and
IBM boxes. The Thinkpads, 2T400's and one T430, all have the Intel
wireless, usually the 5100 card. Now, I am using Ethernet cable, kind of
a hassle.

I have an Intel (Dell) 5100, device IDs 8086:4232, working fine in my
Dell E5500 laptop with ArcaOS - but it was a PITA getting it to work. I
made some notes a little later in case a reinstall is necessary in the future.
ArcaOS5.0 - resolving missing wireless nic support for Intel (Dell) 5100 a/g/n 8086:4232
Things to check for problems:
\ibmcom\lantran.log
\ibmcom\protocol.ini
and also check the genmac log
Due to the problems I bumped into trying to get the Intel 5100 working I ended up reinstalling ArcaOS several times. These are the steps I needed
to take to get an Intel (Dell) 5100 wireless nic working - hopefully I
have not missed anything out.
1] During ArcaOS Reinstall select a genmac wireless nic to install.
Reason: All required supporting software gets installed at this point -
it is far more difficult to get xwlan, dhclient etc working by
installing later.
2] When the ArcaOS install has finished you need to use Warpin (Install/Uninstall folder) to remove genmac - do not worry about the
driver, leave that alone.
3] Install genmac from the GENMAC2.WPI package - not sure if this is available online so do not have a download link. I lifted this version
from the eComStation2.2beta2 DVD (\CID\SERVER\ECSPKG\GENMAC2.WPI).
4] Install the w8086x4232 driver from GENMU_TEST-0-2-7.WPI then check
that the w8086x4232.nif file is correct - the w8086:4232.nif file I used
had some mistakes showing as 4332 instead of 4232 in several places
which would prevent the driver loading. I seem to recall editing the genmac\nif\w8086x4232.nif then copying the file to \ibmcom\macs
overwriting the existing 8086x4232.nif file.
5] Use Adapters and Protocols (System Setup -> Network folder) to
*Change* the nic to the correct nic - also check you have required Protocol(s) in place.
6] Reboot - check for driver loading OK, should be a message like "...
loaded for [8086:4232]"
With luck all should now work and you should now be able to use the
wireless client software installed by ArcaOS - as long as you selected a wireless nic to start with.

Pete

Just to be different, ArcaOS installs easily on my T61, but I get a

You know the troubleshooting guide here - http://trac.netlabs.org/xwlan/browser/trunk/src/ship/readme.txt ?
There are circumstances where xwlan widget crashes and doing so takes
the whole xcenter down too. In such case I usually take wlanstat instead
the widget until my settings and profiles are correct. You need to
delete the widget in xcenter when doing that.
If you need further assistance in setting up your wireless connection
please tell at which number in the troubleshooting guide you're stuck.
Guess number 1 - 4 are okay in your case, correct?

I have followed through these checkpoints and I have also verified that the relevant files
are the same versions as used in ECS.
And having corrected an error in the security key, I now have wifi working under ArcaOS.
So it was simple in the end. I guess I was distracted by the way the wifi only closes down
if it finds something it does not understand.
Thanks for the help.

You may want to check that the Intel 3945 driver used by ArcaOS is the
same driver that you previously had working in eCS.
If it is not you want to change the ArcaOS driver for the previous driver.
I also found it useful to change the genmac package. People post there
is no difference between genmac220 and genmac221 but the 221 version
(eCS2.2) works for me and the 220 version (ArcaOS) did not - possibly
because I was installing a driver not supplied with ArcaOS.

Since many years, it is not developed anymore and the 5100 is an

I certainly hope that Arca release wifi drivers in the near future -
should make it easier to get things working rather than fiddling around
with genmac.

I don't know what the state is of Samba on ArcaOS though. I know there
was work going on with it.
A plugin based on Samba 4.5.x is included.

on two different systems without success. The client works fine. In fact, it successfully connects to Windows 10, a
first. I imagine it will also work with Windows 7 or 8 but I have no means of testing this.
The server will not run. The smbd.exe demon starts and runs ok. The nmbd.exe demon starts and exits after a few seconds.
Almost but no cigar.
Here are the messages I get when I try to start the server from a command window:
[D:\Programs\Samba]smb.cmd start

Done.
Trying to bypass DHCP and use a fixed ip address is even worse..

So to summarize for me: tried it on 3 hardware devices and never got a running system.
random hang at the startup folder. It seems to depend partly on what is
in the folder.
I have had that problem, for years. If there are more than about 4
items in the startup foldder, and they all try to start at the same
time that all of the RUN commands in CONFIG.SYS, and the STARTUP.CMD,
try to start, something will go wrong. he best answer, that I have
found is to iuse REXX AutoStart to space out the contents of the
STARTUP folder:
