Hi
we are interested in  booting Win95 diskless from a SAMBA server.

The stumbling block seems to be that the Win95 net.exe only supports
the NETBEUI and IPX protocols.

1) is anyone aware of a net.exe which would allow us to use TCP/IP ?

2) can we somehow interface to samba using NETBEUI ?

We are using the InCom bootroms and bootp to download the bootimage.
Connecting to an NT server via NETBEUI works but we would like to be able to 
dispose of the NT server and use SAMBA in its place.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Please email any replies.
