You will either connect using NETBIOS (over TCP/IP) or TCP/IP directly
through SQL Server. If you have TCP/IP support installed for SQL
Server (if you don't know, then you probably don't, since it is not
a default, and is NOT the same as just installing TCP/IP on NT) then
you can use the SQL Client Config Utility to define a definition to
the SQL Server using TCP/IP and the machine's IP.
The other choice is to use Named Pipes and NBT. This requires that
you either have a WINS server or enter the SQL Server into your
LMHOSTS file. In either choice you still have to have credentials
(a username/password) that the NT machine knows. If you are running
95/98 then that means you have to log into 95/98 with a username
known.
I'd recommend skimming the client section of the Admin Companion
(I believe its Chapters 4-5) as it details how to setup the different
client protocols.
