Network Software

Sure their are plenty of other NOS's (Network Operating Software) and network clients around but this discussion is limited to the Microsoft family.

We also are focusing on TCP/IP as the default/only protocol. It is highly recommended that other protocols such as NetBEUI and IPX/SPX be removed to insure the best possible performance and to provide for a simpler environment that enables easier troubleshooting of TCP/IP setup issues or problems.

If you have one of the listed OS's you have all the networking software you need for your simple TCP/IP network right in the box! Except, that is, for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 which will require you to download the protected mode 32 bit TCP/IP client (remember: Windows for Workgroup 3.11 users only!) from the Microsoft site.
