- Microsoft LAN Manager, version 2.2c
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
Two MS-DOS-based network clients ship with Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and
3.51: LAN Manager for MS-DOS and Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS. Microsoft
recommends you use Network Client for MS-DOS unless you are using a remote boot
workstation.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS was derived from Workgroup Add-on for
MS-DOS. Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS differs from Workgroup Add-on for
MS-DOS in the following ways:
- Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS does not include the Microsoft Mail
client or MS-DOS server functionality included in Workgroup Add-on for
MS-DOS.
- Unlike Workgroup Add-on for MS-DOS, Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS
includes the TCP/IP, MS-DLC, and IPX protocols.
Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS differs from Microsoft LAN Manager for MS-DOS
in the following ways:
- Because Microsoft LAN Manager for MS-DOS does not have any upgrade support,
it is easier to upgrade from Microsoft LAN Manager for MS-DOS to Microsoft
Network Client for MS-DOS than it is to upgrade to Microsoft LAN Manager for
MS-DOS.
- Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS does not support remote boot. LAN Manager
for MS-DOS is the only Microsoft client that supports remote boot.
- The Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS redirectors (both Basic and Full)
have been optimized to work efficiently with Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51. As a
result, Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS is faster than Microsoft LAN
Manager for MS-DOS at connecting to a computer running Microsoft Windows NT.
Both Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS and Microsoft LAN Manager for MS-DOS:
- Ship with identical MS-DOS TCP/IP protocols.
- Support and include the TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and IPX protocols.
- Support identical DHCP and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) capabilities.
- Do not include the Microsoft Mail client.
