You don't. MS-DOS doesn't include a network server. Neither do any of the LAN Manager clients (or their later incarnations of "Client for Microsoft Networks"), as far as I know. MS-DOS is very primitive. The resident OS did almost nothing beyond providing a filesystem driver. I've heard it called a "non-reentrant interrupt handler"; that's fairly accurate.

SHARE.EXE just gave the ability for an MS-DOS system to do file locking, so that more than one process could access the same file. It didn't actually share anything over a network. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
