My officemate recently did this using a shareware utility
called "winimage"; the catch was that he had to get the DOS
files themselves from somewhere. Once he had those, he
used winimage to create the boot sectors on the floppy and,
I believe, to order them correctly.

If you have DOS somewhere, this could be a solution. Sorry,
but he doesn't remember the URL for this.

How do you make a DOS bootable floppy in Windows NT? I've got a BIOS
update to perform and it says to boot to DOS. This is a Windows NT
machine. There is no DOS. And the old format commands such as format
a: /s don't work anymore. If I type format /? from the command line it
reveals a number of options but none of them include a DOS bootable disk.

An alternative would be to purchase an AppleTalk protocol stack to run on
the NT Workstations. Something like PC-Mac LAN from Miramar Systems
(http://www.miramarsys.com/products/ntover.htm) should do the trick. This
will allow you to avoid any hassles with NT Licensing (i.e. per seat or per
server) and learning to administer a new Network Operating System (NOS)

The cost of a 10-pack of licenses for PC-Mac LAN would be less than the cost
of a new server, admin time to setup and learn the new server, and the cost
of a "per server" NT license.

I want to connect PCs together using TCP/IP. How do I go about doing
this.. They are computers that are part of our WAN but are remote to
each other.
