I am trying to install windows for a network environment. Right now, I am not sure why windows wants to know the type of network it will be used with. (We are using PC-NFS 3.0.1 and Banyan Vines 4.0) At this point we don't have the necessary driver(s) from Banyan to use Vines 4.0 with windows. So, in the meantime I thought I'd mount a PC-NFS drive and do the 'expand' that the book requires. After doing that, I decided to try and run the setup/n and install it on my 386 machine for the Vines 4.0 network. During the install it was asking me for a file called NETWORK.DRV. I decided that this must be a file that comes with Banyan so I thought I'd run the setup/n again but tell it I had NO NETWORK and see what happens. It still wanted the NETWORK.DRV file. I guess this is because of the '/n' option I specified. My understanding about windows in a network configuration is that people will only need to have a few basic files (as opposed to a few MB of files) on their local hard disk and they will get the rest from a network drive. Anyone know what the NETWORK.DRV file is or better yet, where it is???!!
