We have a small network set up in the storeroom in between, and it's working fine; I've got the computers set up and ready to be networked as soon as the wiring for the rooms themselves is in place. We're planning to eventually connect this token-ring network up to the school-wide Ethernet network, which is also connected (via ISDN) to the internet. The hardware and software we are using are: IBM PS/2 486's with IBM Token-ring cards, and a Compaq 486 server, also with a IBM token-ring card. We're running OpenDOS and Windows 3.1. My questions are: 1) How do we connect the token-ring network up to the rest of the network? Somebody told us that we could get an Ethernet card and place it in our server (alongside the token-ring card), and run Windows NT and use it as a router. Assuming we can scrounge up a copy of NT and install it on the server, will we be able to run our PNW network on it? Can we accomplish the same task using just PNW (or other, reasonably inexpensive software?) 2) What software do we need to access the Internet under Windows 3.1? Thanks in advance. --- Nathan Roberts http://home.pacbell.net/nathanr Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
