Actually, server starts the server but unless you've loaded the proper lan 
drive in AUTOEXEC.NCF, just starting the server does not start the LAN.
I assume you have tee's and terminators at each end of the thin net cable.  
And I assume you've specified the frame type to use.  Internetware defaults 
to 802.2.  If the workstation is trying to use a different frame type, it 
will never see the server.
Send me your autoexec.ncf from the server to one of my internet addresses.
