I've installed the 16bit SQLNet on about five Win95 machines here. It has worked for all except the one I'm trying to install now. Despite having the SPX protocol installed it is telling me that the protocol is not installed. This machine is using Microsoft's SPX protocol, while all the other machines (the ones I didn't have any trouble with) used Novell's Client32. I'm going to install Client32 and see if the problem clears up.
