I believe (though I haven't done it myself) that there is a DOS component of
WFWG which you can run without Windows to allow use of WFWG networked drives
and printers. I believe that you can access this using the
net /start
command which starts the WFWG networking before you actually run Windows. I
had a friend who set a bunch of 286's up to a 486 like this a while ago. I
think the service is called workstation or something similar. Look at the
options for the net command.
