Has anyone run Rev G on a Windows 98 peer to peer network? We changed the network driver to be Generic Dos 3.1 but record locking is not working. I assumed this would work since it worked on an NT network. (Maybe a bad assumption.) In looking at previous posts, it looks like a dedicated server may be necessary, but I hope there is a way around this. My customer will not be too happy to have to buy another PC. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, greg, but a dedicated PC is needed. Keep in mind that a dedicated PC is just a PC not running RevG, so if there is a machine on the network that does not run RevG, that's your server.

So if the files are shared from another PC not running REVG, the file locking will work? You'd think with the multi-tasking nature of 98, it would be possible to fake this. Are there any peer-to-peer networks available that do not require a dedicated PC? Thanks.

Any network that allows you to redirect a local drive as a network drive will work. LanTastic allows this, as do most non-Microsoft peer-peer solutions.
