There remove other network protocols (like NetBEUI, IPX) if you find them, then install the TCP/IP protocol, which may be a tad hard to find - took me some time in 1998 to find it - and then you may be able to connect. Though, tough luck, SQL server + DOS, that's like having GPS on an oxcart...

He already has the tcpip connectivity. The real stumper is finding an SQL client that works on 16bit DOS.
