Hi,

We are trying to setup SQL Server on Windows NT 3.5. The problem is 
that during or after setup , SQL Server does not enable us to choose 
what type of network we want to use. Basically the "Change network 
support" option is dimmed out. The manual says its because SQL Server 
cannot detect a network running. However our network is running and we 
can telnet and ping remote hosts on Unix machines. 

We also checked (as the manual suggestes) the network status by 
executing "net start" from the DOS Command prompt. As far as we can 
tell the Server is running. So what could be the problem?
Our only conclusion is that SQL Server 4.20 cannot detect a network 
under NT 3.5. The SQL Server manual claims it runs with NT 3.1 but 
does not mention NT 3.5. Is this the problem? Does anyone know this 
for a fact? 

Better yet, does anyone have any workarounds for this? 

Thanks in advance,
