<QUOTE>
I have not installed or been involved in networks for about 2 years.  I have a client with two workstations, and was wondering if Lantastic is still a good choice for Arev version 3.03.  He doesn't want to purchase a stand alone server if he doesn't have too.  What version of Lantastic would be good?  Is there any problems installing windows 98 on top of Lantastic?  I have done it with Win95 and it works OK.



Have they solved the problem of needing a dedicated server when using

Win98?  If so, and you were to use Win98, Do you need an NPP?  How would you make drive C: on the server be accessed as network drive F: on the server.  (Arev likes to access network drive F: or hogher.



Heeellllppp!



Any suggesstions or info would be greatly appreciated.   Thank You,



Steven Danielson

<QUOTE>to map one drive letter to another or a directory to a drive letter is simple.

in your case do this:

- make C shareable

- click on network neightborhood and select your puter.

- select your drive C that you made accessible to the net.

- Right click and select "Map Network Drive"

- Make sure you have the reconnect when rebooting checked.

Voila...

<QUOTE>I gave that a shot and came up with:

"The following error occured when trying to connect S: to \\Stevenda\steves c:



The computer name or share name could not be found.  Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again."



Any ideas?



If I do get this to work, can I run Arev on Microsoft Networks on a non-dedicated server, 2 station peer to peer network?

<QUOTE>Yup ... providing:

1.  Your copy of AREV is properly bumped

2.  You use the NPP driver

3.  You disable write-behind caching on both machines

I have had poor luck with Lantastic for Win95/98.  The peer-to-peer network with Win95/98 seems to work better.  You have to work out the Share issues and drive mappings.  It is a good idea to map both computers to the same drive letter.  Then..start AREV from a batch file.  That way, if the network is not working, it won't start.

<QUOTE>We have had a lot of problems with Lantastic & Arev .. corrupted data files etc. and indexing problems.   Win 98 peer to peer is a better solution but use NPP with it.
