Howard, peer to peer and client server are certainly two popular phrases but you can impliment a client server environment using only 95's builtin "peer to peer" networking and you can have a peer to peer network using NT Servers. It's more a matter of the way you set it up than the product itseld. The real differences between 95 and Netware and NT are the more plentiful and robust services that the true NOS provides (Distributed Authenication, Fault Tolerance, DNS, SMTP, Routing, and Gateway services. Many advantages of ethernet over direct cable. BTW: Ethernet without a switch is actually half duplex not full.You must have a ethernet switch like a cisco catalyst 1800 to use full duplex ethernet.
