DMZ = De-militarized Zone
Win NT Workstation only accept max 10 concurrent users connection <> Win NT
Svr depend on license.
Win2K Pro aka workstation accept max ?? concurrent User connection (Suitable
for Mail server?)
The lastime I tried to import Win2K registry to Win NT. I got error msg
cause NT does not recognise some new registry type available only on Win2K.
Don't know if you will encounter problem if it is the reverse (NT reg entry
to Win2K). Just curious.
Cheers!!!
