Our ERP system runs on a SQL2000 backend. Our LAN is Novell Netware. It appears that we need our workstations to issue a "NET USE \\ERPSERV\AITERP guest" command before the ERP client can connect to the SQL server. What gives? Why does the workstation need to establish an underlying connection to the Windoze server first? I'm writing an app that will connect to a SQL DB via the Internet, and I'm pretty sure I won't need to authenticate to their Windoze box first. Comments?
note: I'm troubleshooting my VB6 app that connects to the local SQL server, and remembered this goofy need for the ERP server.
