Article #25462: Loading InterBase on Win95 machine w/ clients connecting in Peer to Peer Network

Problem:
I am using win95 networking to connect win95 clients in a 
peer to peer configuation.  All clients will point to a single 
.gdb file on a win95 machine.  What protocol should I use 
to connect these machines?   What software should I have 
loaded on each machine?  Should I load the server software 
on each one?


Solution:

Win95 does not have the capability to act as a NetBEUI server.  Thus 
TCP is the only option in an all windows95 environment.

You should load the server software on the machine with the .gdb file.
The client software should be loaded on all other machines.
