I have used SAS/Intrnet on Win95, Win2k, and WinNT Workstation laptops, using MS Personal Web Server on 95/NT and Apache on 2K. Overall, things worked well with all three setups. The only problem I ran into was in getting the NT machine to recognize the customizations we made to the MDDB Report Viewer application. All of the other pieces of SAS/Intrnet seemed to work well.

If you use IE, you will have to change the settings so that it doesn't try dialup if you are offline. Also, disable any software that acts as a proxy server (ex. WebWasher, AdSubtract) before starting your demo.
