Adding NT server to Netware network

Hi,
We currently have two completely seperate networks. The main network covers the whole of our site, with exception of the design office. There is one Netware 4.11 server residing on this network. Everyone uses this network for file and print and logon authentification, again with the exception of the design office. Our second network consists of one NT server and 2 cad workstations. This is totally seperate from our main network, and is of course our design office. We now wish to move the design office and incorporate it into the main network. Is it just a simple case of adding the NT server and CAD workstations into the main network. The two cad stations are both running Windows 2000, while all the other PC's are running NT Workstation with the Netware client for NT. Will the relevant server still authenticate the clients as it did before? would there be any other issues involved in adding the NT server?
Sorry if this sounds dumb, it's something I've not done before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keith
 
You shouldn't have any problems incorporating the two networks together. Effectively, they will be two seperate networks just on the same "bit of wire".

As long as your NT server and workstations are configured to the main network (eg. IP and IPX configurations have to be the same), you should not have any issues. -----------------------------------------------------
