Btrieve and Scalable SQL on Win2000

Win 95 workstations suddenly stopped working with a Pervasive SQL and Btrieve based application, residing on a Win2000 server.
Only thing happened in the same time, we restricted login to a Novell box (retired) which has nothing to do with the application, although Win95 wkstn. used to use Novell client to login.

Reinstalled Win95 from scratch (including format), everything looks good, networking, login to Microsoft network, domain...but when trying to install pervasive client tells me Scalable SQL and Btrieve are not running on the specified server.

They are, even stopped and restared, no good. I can access and work with the application from any other (non 95_ workstation.
Problem is I kept the 95 because there is one utility (rather important) that does not run on Xp, only on '95.

What could've happened ?

What are you trying to access through the Pervasive client that only runs on 95? Sometimes you have to setup a dosbox stub with btrieve to run certain programs. If you could offer a little more insight I may be able to help more.
