Re[3]: [ct-user] FW: CT with Ethernet

[Ron Notarius]

     I didn't think such a simple question would stir up so much 
     response!...
     
     For those who asked, the network in my house is entirely 10-Base2.  
     The server is running 3 Ethernet flavors (802.2, 802.3, & Ethernet_II 
     for TCP/IP) & DHCP, so IP isn't a problem.  My shack PC is running Win 
     95, tho the 2nd machine is Win 3.1; I wasn't going to bother to 
     upgrade it since it's only going to run CT and my dBase IV logging 
     programs.
     
     Anyway, from the feedback, it sounds like CT's multi-user capability 
     was designed as it's own peer-to-peer network using serial ports, and 
     that it has never really been retro-fitted for a more traditional 
     client/server system (& why should it, since how many screwballs run 
     servers in their homes?).  
     
     What this means to me is that my original thought of running CT 9 off 
     the server -- that is, load the application from the server & store 
     the databases there -- is probably going to be a bigger hassle than 
     it's worth.  The good news is that I shouldn't have any major problems 
     running it peer-to-peer regardless of the server.  (famous last words)
     
     Thanks for all the feedback.

As long as all the computers can 'hear' each other on the netware server, it 
should be no problem.  Data will NOT pass through the server, so you will have 
to ensure that all the machines are on the same hub, or the same ether (if you 
are using coax).  
     
This can coexist at the same time as your normal netware traffic.
