This should work, but it will be limited to a small number of users as NTW4 cannot have more than 10 connections.

I think you need 8.1.n for W2K. Also, if you have this as a PDC and you load a database server there, don't expect good performance...

Even M$ recommends databases be installed in non PDC/BDC systems. To get good performance of any database in NT, use the keywords: "dedicated box".
Start using that NT box for all and sundry and watch the performance go out the window...

Yes, absolutely. Albeit limited by M$ to <10 connections.
