- SERVER Only Instead of SERVER and CLIENT
-
- NetWare Lite is designed to allow multiple computers (nodes) in a
- physical LAN segment (network) to share resources like printers
- and disk space. Computers which make resources available to the
- network are called servers. Computers which access resources are
- called clients. If a particular server does not require access
- to other servers' resources, then you should consider making it a
- server only. A server which does not run simultaneously as a
- client is called a "dedicated" server. Network performance can
- be improved by running servers as dedicated. Also, the less the
- server is used as a workstation the better it will perform as a
- server. Note that a workstation must be running as a client to
- use the NET utility, which is the interface for managing the
- network. This means that a computer which is configured as a
- server only must be managed from another network workstation
- which is a client. See fax document "Before Beginning
- Installation" for more information on deciding how to set up your
- network.
