I believe it is possible to have DOS peer server capabilities,
from a message in OS2LAN:

Subj: OS/2 to DOS & Win95            Conf: (16) Os2lan
   You can run the MS network client on the DOS box, then all three
   boxes will be able to see each other.
   Here's how:
   Download the following files from MS:
   ftp.microsoft.com in /bussys/clients/msclient - Files are:
   DSK3-1.EXE and DSK3-2.EXE
   You also need to get the newer NET.EXE file from
   /softlib/mslfiles - File is: WG1049.EXE (Adds server capability)
   You will need a network card that includes an NDIS 2.0 or greater
   driver. (Most all do...). Don't expect a bus-mastering driver to
   work without some pain. (I could NOT get a Kingston PCI 100mbs
   card to work with QEMM at all, had to go back to an ISA card).
   Install the first two disks and get it working as a client. Then
   overwrite your original NET.EXE file with the above version, and
   you will have server capability.
   Suggest you change the default values for "Sessions" and "NCBs"
   in PROTOCOL.INI to at least 16 and 32 respectively. The default
   values are insufficient.

As I don't have INet file access I haven't checked the server capability
out (especially with regard to legality).
