I just browsed through the FAQ; it says that IBM PC LAN is "known to work
with Windows 3.0". Well, I have tried this, and on one occassion even 
talked to someone at Microsoft (after waiting 1 hr on the phone), and I 
was never able to get it to work.

So, is there anyone out there who actually has Windows 3.0 running on an
IBM PC Lan v 1.1 and later? If so, can you email me your server setup 
and client setup? Specifically, I want to run Windows 3.0 on the machine
configured as the server. What happens is that as soon any of the client
accesses the server, the server hangs; for example, doing a dir on a hard
drive on the server while the server is running Win3 will hang the server.

Thanks for any help!!

Milan
