JH>      I am studying to become an MCSE, and in the process have setup a 
 JH> network at home.  Right now I have NT Server 4.0 on a 133mhz Cyrix 686 
 JH> with 32 megs, Ram acting as a free standing server (not a PDC), a 386 
 JH> sx/33 with 8megs RAM running WFWG as one workstation, and am trying to 
 JH> also add my DOS based BBS machine to the network.  I tried using the 
You'll need to take a shot at the NT Domain stuff sooner or later....
 JH> at least get the DOS machine to connect to the server and I can access 
 JH> files on the server with the Net Use command.  However, the server 
 JH> cannot see the DOS machine in Network Neighborhood.  Someone told me 
 JH> that this is because the DOS machine is not running any server services 
 JH> but I don't know about this.  I think I should at least be able to SEE 
 JH> it.  My net is a Workgroup not a Domain.
If you don't tell it to 'Share printers or disk directorys' the other 
machines won't be able to see it. Once you log onto a share on the NT server, 
then it should show up in the list(s) in Server Manager
 JH> was advised to, I only have 170k free!  Not enough to even load 
 JH> Desqview!  After running QEMM's Optimize program I then have about 440k 
 JH> free which is enough to open DV but not enough to then open even one of 
 JH> my BBS nodes.  The DOS machine is a 90 MHZ Pentium with 24 Megs RAM, 
 JH> running Desqview 2.70 and 3 nodes of PcBoard 15.30.  I use Hyper Disk 
 JH> for a disk cache with a 6 MB cache.
Re-install the DOS client software; specify 'minimal install' or whatever 
they call it in the installation procedure. Run optimize when you're done to 
get as much stuff to load high as possible. Personally though, I consider 
trying to run as a MSnetwork DOS client at the same time you're trying to run 
a 3 node BBS under Desqview to be more or less mutually exclusive 
activities.......
