How about this one: LAN machines connect using NWLink (Netware LAN), use a notebook to dial into NT that has the SQL Server (I tried to map a network drive after dial in completed and it said I was not logged in), connect to SQL Server using named pipes. Everything is beautiful. Now try to connect from LAN workstations (W95) and they cannot find the server using NWLink. Named pipes works from LAN workstations, but it is SLOW.

What happened? How do I get the SQL Server to recognize NWLink connections again?
