- I think the answer so far is "no."
-
- So far, I haven't seen any data that leads me to believe that W4W will
- work (or at least, work well) doing netbeui over TCP. This in turn
- leads me to believe that W4W would be a disaster in a typical routed
- IP campus environment. Imagine what happens when we network engineers
- reengineer a subnet and in the process put the Provost and her
- secretary on different subnets. All of a sudden their W4W
- peer-to-peer connection stops working.
-
- Can anyone on this list describe any successes running W4W (or, absent
- that, traditional LanManager) in a large IP-only environment?
