Connecting to ISP from client while on NW5.1 network

[delphidestructor]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to be on a NW 5.1 network with a WIN98 client and connect to an ISP with that client and not be disconnected from the NW network? Mike

What type of connection?

 

[delphidestructor]

a dial-up connection with the modem on the client Mike

Sure, just make sure your DUN options are correct for the session. Only enable the protocols needed by your ISP.

Cheers,

Mark ;-)

Just to let you know, there is a known issue with windows 98 giving bad credentials to the novell 5.1 login. You will notice this if every once in a while you will lose your network connection on the dialup machine and get prompted to enter your novell login/pass.
Keep us updated

Yes, that is what I did. I only have the TCP/IP protocol bound to the dial up adapter. This works fine. I will watch for the issue with Win98 and Novell. Now if I could find a way to make that connection to the ISP automated. I guess programmatically is what I mean. I only want that connection to be made when I am running a specific app. Mike

Which app is that?
