This probably is an easy question, but I'm not sure. You can speed your computer up a little by setting the Computer's Role as Network Server. I have my home computer setup that way, but I would like to add some speed to our computers at work (small office, 7 computers running on Novell Netware 4.11). I add ram another 64 mb of ram bring it up to 128, but if I set up the role of the computer as network server will that mess with the novell's settings and the real network server??? Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

The option for the 'Typical Role of PC' changed to Network Server does help the PC greatly but can also mess up some systems. I work on a support desk and I am constantly tweeking customers systems by changing this option. I have only seen this option cause one problem for a customer and that was memory leakage, many of our customers use a varity of Networks.
I would suggest testing the change on one system only to see if Novell's setting will mess up and maybe build up the rest with the same change.
I know I havent given a somewhat direct answer but i hope this info helps.
