Both run over IBM's token ring with no problem. Well almost no problem. Every now and then, if you touch a network drive while in a dos box, and then touch it in protected mode, the network drive goes away. It's not a consistant problem for me, so I haven't been able to track it down. When you install windows it asks you which LAN you have. I believe there have been a couple of updates for Novell to work with Windows. If you're running Novell, you might want to call them and ask them about it. From experience I've discovered that the token ring packet driver and IBM's PC/LAN don't particularly get along real well. Either will refuse to load if the other is present (at least that's been my experience). The token ring packet driver works well with Novell though.
