I had OWS 7.2 on NT with both SQL*Net V1 and V2.2 installed. When I decided to upgrade to 7.3 I uninstalled SQL*Net V2.2 but left the V1 installed. Then I upgraded the server and installed SQL*Net V2.3. As a result, I have both V2.3 and V1 of SQL*Net installed and both are working. I'm using TCP/IP, don't know how it behaves with named pipes.
