Well, I'v e managed to get the the card installed and Win95 doesn't give me
the old msg anymore. However, I do see a msg:

*DHCP Client cannot get IP address of a Server?

I still can' t get to my server... When I click on Network the only thing I
see is a small icon , 'Entire Network'. When I click on that I get:

*Unable to browse the Network. The network is not accessable...

I am missing something, I'm not quit sure the heck it is. As I stated
earlier its been several years since I've played with this stuff.

Please respond to:

The DHCP message is because you have not configured the TCP/IP protocol in the
network control panel.  Because it is unconfigured, your computer is looking
for a DHCP server on the network, doesn't find one and tells you.  DHCP is
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a subprotocol of TCP/IP.  Are you using
TCP/IP on your network?  What kind of server are you trying to connect to?

I suggest you look at another computer on your network, or if you're just
connecting to another Windows 95 machine, the other machine, and set up
clients, protocols and services exactly like the other one.  If you don't know
what TCP/IP is, you are probably not using it.  Stick with IPX/SPX compatible
or NetBUEI , they're easier.

Don

Thanks to all how helped.
I can now get to the server from DOS, No problem...
I still have to get into a DOSWIN and execute STARTNET from my LNCLIENT
directory though to see the drives with mapped letters (P: Q: R: etc).

Now all I have to do is figure out why? It seems to me, if I can do this
then Win95 should pickup the drive mappings automatically from DOS?
