What exactly are you trying to do?  Are you having problem accessing the 4.11 server?  Is this an NT environment.  A little more detail and I'll be mor than willing to help.

If you want to force Windows95 to boot to DOS instead of firing off the Win95 program you need to do the following from the C:> DOS prompt:

ATTRIB MSDOS.SYS -S -R -H

The change the line:

BOOTGUI=1

into

BOOTGUI=0

Save the MSDOS.SYS file and reprotect it with:

ATTRIB MSDOS.SYS +S +R +H

This will cause your win95 box to boot as a DOS7 machine You'll come to the DOS propmt just like always. To start windows CD into the \WINDOWS directory and type WIN. Windows will inherit any devices you set up in DOS. When shutting down windows you'll see the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" message and the box will drop back into DOS mode.
