I've recently installed Server 2008 on a new server which has 64 bit technology. All the workstations have been downgraded to run on XP as I wanted to avoid Vista. I've been successfully running Paradox 9 over the network where the original server operated MS Server 2003. The old server and the XP workstations had Netbeui protocol installed. The new server does not recognise Netbeui and so I don't seem to be able to install it. Now the workstations with the new server hang when ever you want to change a record.
Our tech boys have devised a work around where Paradox is installed on one of the XP workstations, this suggests the problem is a network problem. Unfortunately this is a complete waste of the server's capabilities.
Can anyone think of a solution? Otherwise I'm going to be forced to change to a different database and this will take me a minimum of 6 months to devise. I'm loathed to do this as Paradox in my eyes is so flexible.
