- I am going to be installing a network version of Windows 3.1 onto a
- Microsoft LANManager 2.1 network. In the windows resourse kit, it says
- that all you must do is the following:
-
- 1. Logon as administator to the LAN and create the directory for the
- Windows share files to reside.
- 2. Type a:setup/a to copy the windows share files over to the server.
-
-
- For each workstation connected to the LAN:
- 1. Logon as user to the LAN.
- 2. Run setup/n from either the install disks or from the network drive
- containing the windows share files.
- 3. Specify where your personal files are to be stored. On the network
- drive for a diskless workstation, or on the workstation's local drive.
-
- This seems to be easy to do... Has anyone done a similar operation? If
- so, how much time will it take to do the server install and for each
- workstation (shared files on server and personal files on workstation)?
- Are there any problems to watch for?
-
- Another concern I have is regarding the performace of a windows
- workstation having the shared files on the server and the personal files
- on the workstation disk with the network only running at 4 Mbit/s. I
- Is is to slow?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Tristen.
