[RESOLVED] How do I Make Dos Client to Win98 Server

I wish to say this and it is simple.
I did not get into this forum to debate like the presidential canidates.
Please view what the term server means.
If a machine is set up to SHARE anything whether it is a file or a drive it is a server. It is that simple. If you feel the way you set up a server for IBM is certain programs running Novell software or similar then you are stuck with one view of matters. Sorry I see a server is anything that will provide for others and file sharing or printer sharing is a SERVER. I am only using the term loosely persons. Please guys relax and enjoy the holiday coming.
For all who are reading these posts:

I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. :-)

I am not saying this to ridicule just trying to help you understand client/server concepts.IPX is the transport for Novell so it is fair to assume that mentioning IPX means you are running a Novell Server.I mean unless you were connecting to Novell why else would you use IPX?
I am glad you got the help you were looking for but give the guy a break for correcting you,he is only doing it so you don't go to a real company someday as an IT man and mention your experience with Win 98 as a server.

IPX= 80% data 20% header per packet
TCP/IP= 60% data 40% header per packet

IPX is more efficient
If there was a Novel server, doesn't Client for Netware have to be installed?

Don't get to concerned about the "debating". A lot of information and education takes place during a discussion. Where else can you go to have an argument about this subject and others relating to computers? The language is about the same as if you were there in person.

Happy Thanksgiving all !!!
