Put :-
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
in your config.sys on the upgraded machine, adjusting the path as needed.
Then type :-
SETVER NETx=4.1
or whatever version is was that worked before.
(You only have to do this once.)
Then when the NETX proggy asks DOS what version it is, DOS lies and tells it
what ever you told it to.
Nope.       ;)
See above.

win95- nor WinNT-based client allows logging in to file server with packet

i _THINK_ when I got my 3.12 Demo user copy, I asked about that... I think I
was told a full reinstall would be required.  I do remember however an admin
saying to upgrade NW3.12, from a 5 to say 20 user copy, the only thing that
changes is a bit of code in the server.exe .   Thus the only thing he was
changing was just that, the server.exe  .... I don't know if this holds true
with NW 4.1

a means to play god.  They could change just about anything.  The fact that
you feel your admin would kill you for telling him the most powerfull account

about NW 4.10 2 user
he
	Normally Novell Licenses are 'stackable'. You just stick the new disk
in and ta da you have more users.  BUT the 2user freebee CD's are NOT
stackable because if they were you could just buy 5 copies of PCMAG and
have a 10 user network<g>.  So the 2 user is the only one you can't
upgrade.
is
	So from scratch, but if you want to add five more in the future or
wahtever it is really easy.
the
	I would just log in as Admin, copy all the files the user can see,
then when you reinstall, recreat your users/containers/etc and copy the
files back.  The other advantage to this is you can use any DOS or Win
backup software/device.  Your 2 user setup shouldn't be that hard to
recreate.
