We only installed it less then a week. All the Win95 PC seem running well, but some of WFW PCs give us error messages from time to time. They complain that they can't lease an IP from DHCP server, while the server is always running. I noticed that most of time it happened when user run DOS shell but it also happens when user runing memory intensive applications. I doubt this might be caused by not enough CPU time allocated to background process. Any one has similar experience? Thanks, Tsuwei
