Michael, thanks for the info about SMB and NAT not playing well together.
You are right, I am using NAT, because whenever I tried using Bridged
I was unable to connect to the Internet - no email, no browsing...
I would love to know how to get past this obstacle.

I would be all for using Shared Folders, except for the fact that Guest
Additions for OS/2 does not yet have that support.  On p.212 of the recent
manual, under 'Known limitations', it says:

      Guest Additions for OS/2.  Shared folders are not yet supported with
        OS/2 guests.

Can you suggest another route to sharing folders between the OSX host 
and eCS
_and_ connecting to the Internet from the guest?

Thanks.

- Dushan
