Hi, i run my own home server but it is getting to the point of dieing.. I will be needing a basic server. mainly for a DHCP server. Is there an option in windows 3.1 to set it up as a DHCP server?
Cheers

WfW 3.xx only has a Client.....
Windows 3.xx not sure but it utilises MS NWC3 Client/Server.
NT3.x Server may be preferable !
