I should imagine this can be achieved by making a standard boot disk that incorperates the 'net' commands. I can e-mail you a list of these commands if you like. You could try making a DOS boot disk from Win 95 by typing 'SYS A:' ... this should boot your 386 up to an A:\ prompt. Next once the 'net' source file is copied to the disk. You should be able to use the net commands to start/stop print services etc. Hope this helps

IF they do not have YOUR particular nic card, choose ne2000... then dwnld your NIC driver for DOS or MSLANMAN and read the protocol.ini file - replace NE2000 with the name in protocol.ini
