I have/had a copy of the MS network client working a few years ago... also
barely.  IIRC, I was able to map to a network drive on a system running as
the server.  I was able to do a few other things, include get an IP address
assigned from the network.  I do not remember ever being able to get traffic
out past the local network, though.
