Pete, Mark,

QNTC is one of the coolest but least known features that have been added to
OS/400 in recent years.

/QNTC is the AS/400 equivalent of your Windows Network Neighborhood.  When
you browse into ths file system, all of the systems in your domain will
automatically appear.  When you browse a system, all of its shares will
appear.  When you browse a share all of the files will appear.

The file system is fully supported, so you can copy files between
directories and PC's from the green screen using this file system.

Caveats:

1)  The OS/400 NetServer function needs to be configured from OpsNav and
running.  The main things you configure are the name of your NT domain and
the IP address of the WINS server for the domain.  OS/400 needs this to
resolve the IP address of the system.

2)  You can see all of your systems, but you can only see the shares and
files for NT/2000 systems.

3)  The biggie.  The user id and password of your green screen job must be
a valid NT user name and password, and that NT user must be authorized to
the share/file.  This means if you are signed on as QSECOFR, you will not
be able to access the shares of an NT system unless you have created a user
in your NT network named QSECOFR and given it the exact same password.

That should be enough to get you started.

Mark,

    That is your NT FSIOP (or whatever the current name of the card is)
data that
is associated with your *NWSD.  It always goes in the IFS, although some
piece
will also go in QUSRSYS as *SVRSTG.
