Very interesting video! You're prompting me to do similar. I think one of the key things that exploding cap (?) said in the video -- I watched it after and because of yours -- is that he include NetBEUI in his NT Server setup. As you said, TCP/IP was optional and not nearly as well supported in '95, especially the DOS network client used to pull the disk-less client up.

More official and probably not helpful documentation from Microsoft: Win95 Traincast #7 (https://youtu.be/L23a_blRDD8&t=9898) spends about 40 minutes covering "thin client mode" starting at 2h45m.

Man, this takes me back! Back in 8th grade my buddy Jeremy and I made a 802.11b adhoc wireless network between our houses with custom made Cantennas.. which were directional antennas made from linksys wireless adapters and Pringles cans. The kicker was he lived over 3/4 of a mile across a tobacco field. It was awesome.

that makes complete sense, I bet you're right

I'd guess that the NETSEUP wasn't on the OSR disks as they were released "for new PCs only" so network based installation would have been against the EULA. The upgrade disk would have been a full commercial release.

Thanks, it's nice to hear that, especially after one like this haha. I'm sure with many more hours I'll get it... but this video was getting pretty long and I needed a break from it lol.

nope just happens to be the one I had installed haha

Is there any reason you're using 86box 3.0? 4.1 has been out for a while

I always appreciate you showing your troubles getting things working. I really enjoy coming along with the journey even if it ends with a bit of failure.
