I have used sqlnet 2.1 (16-bit) in win nt 3.51 clients. Is it possible to install v2.1 in NT 4.0? I gave up after 3 hours of trying.

I have been running 2.1 in NT 3.51. Yes, it is a bit slower than v1 (NT 4 or 3.51), but this 2.3 in NT 4.0 is about ten times slower than 2.1 in NT 3.51. And the worst thing is that 2.3 hangs every 30 minutes.

I just heard that you can not use sqlnet version higher in clients than your server has; there is now v2.1 in server and I tried v2.3 in client. Is this true?
