What problems have been identified with the following configurations;

1- Windows 95 server with mixed Win 95 and Win 98 clients

2- Windows 95 server with all Win 98 clients

3- Windows 98 server with mixed Win 95 and Win 98 clients

4- Windows 98 server with all Win 98 clients

5- Windows 98 server with all windows 95 clients

Our clients are currently using the ALL NETWORKS Drv 1.5, but at least one client starting getting gfe and link list errors as soon had he started using the Win 98 client on a Windows 95 (Win Server) network.

Joseph,

    You should make sure that file sharing and write-behind caching are disabled in your win98 settings. Also are these servers dedicated or not? They should be dedicated if at all possible. Did they have these GFE'S prior to the NPP or have they developed since?

                        Thanx
