Thank you for your answer but i already found same solution.
To your sugestion about "multiple instance pipes". This i'm already
using for loging clients to server. But for other communication i have
to have different pipes for each workstation. Communication on this pipes
is asynchronous and can be started from both side - server and client.
Several clients can start send requests same time. Server application
is multiprocessing and each pipe has her own thread. This is reason why
i can't use "multiple instance" pipe in this case.

Now i have another problem. I can't link netapi.lib to my project.
I'm using Watcom 10.5. Error is that linker can't find NetWkstaGetInfo.
Library is from Warp Connect c:\IBMLAN\NETSRC\LIB. I have only Peer services
Instaled. Do you have any idea ?
Thank in advance.
  bye Milan
