I figured out this:

SQL Server uses TCP/IP, Named Pipes and Multi-protocol (any winnt protocol)

1) How do I figure out the protocol currently being used? I have a feeling it's named Pipes.

2) If there were TCP/IP, then I'd have no problem running it over novell due to the presence of IPX/SPX... correct?

3) Multi Protocol is best used over non-homogeneous networks, so I think this may be my option. How can I configure SQL Server 7 for this?

TIA.
