OK,
I think I can help you here.  I have the same setup here whereby I access my
IMAGE/SQL database on my 3000 from my Windows 95-based PCs via the Windows
supplied TCP/IP stack and WINSOCK dll.  There is a simple quirk to enable
this however, make sure that you have the dll RNNSVT.DLL from WRQ somewhere
in your path. Be aware that Windows 95 default path is C:\Windows,
\Windows\command.
 
I have a very simple autoexec file:
 
set fultemp=c:\temp     /* this is required for HP Laserom */
path = c:\wrns,\dos,\word    /*wrns contains RNNSVT.DLL*/
set temp=:\temp
 
My config.sys is even simpler, it has nothing but REMs containing old
real-time drivers.
The PCs have modems, NIC cards, sound cards, CD-ROMs, graphics accelerators,
Enhanced IDE controllers, joysticks, laserjets and deskjets yet config.sys
and autoexec.bat have absolutely no references to any device.
 
Kind regards,
 
Denys. . .
