Cetin,

I see a huge advantage in reliability. In my experience, NT doesn't crash nearly as often as '95. You really want this kind of protection in a file server. Also, I think NT does much better at serving multiple network requests at the same time than Win '95 does.

You're right that there could be some network problems. I also think that it's unwise to run another application on the machine that you're using as your server.

>Fully agree. On an environment with only 5 machines, win95 serves perfect (I do it with more machines). In the original thread, also reading, simple copying posed problems I think it's network hardware causing problems (might be wrong installation also). On some of our systems we use NT too but to be honest, I didn't see any superiority of NT in file serving but security.
