ISSUE/PROBLEM
SERVER Only Instead of SERVER and CLIENT
NetWare Lite is designed to allow multiple computers (nodes) in a
physical LAN segment (network) to share resources like printers
and disk space. Computers which make resources available to the
network are called servers. Computers which access resources are
called clients. If a particular server does not require access
to other servers' resources, then you should consider making it a
server only. A server which does not run simultaneously as a
client is called a "dedicated" server. Network performance can
be improved by running servers as dedicated. Also, the less the
server is used as a workstation the better it will perform as a
server. Note that a workstation must be running as a client to
use the NET utility, which is the interface for managing the
network. This means that a computer which is configured as a
server only must be managed from another network workstation
which is a client. See fax document "Before Beginning
Installation" for more information on deciding how to set up your
network.
