Ed,
TCP/IP is the underlying networking layer (or stack if you prefer).
That's what hooks the two together…but that's all it does…allow each
machine to speak the same language over a wire. On top of that, you need
programs that know how to speak to TCP/IP that will allow access to your
drive(s).
You need equivalents of each program on each end. That is, you'd need
a server program on the AMiga end and a client program on the DOS end.
If you go into Windows95 network setup (in control panel) you can add
(or remove) various protocols and client software. Look for something for the
Amiga (in lib 5 here) that matches one of the clients available in win95.
I'm not sure we have anything that will fit that bill here, but you
might browse the library to be positive.
