Ensure that you are using the "-s " switch
on your Windows client Networker user program.

Thanks, where do you set that exactly? Do you call it from the command

Because, when I run the networker user program, it says 'searchiong for
networker servers' then says 'no networker servers found' then the
program closes completely! and I cant even specify the server name etc.

Right-click on the program and select properties.
In the target field, put the current entry inside double-quotes and
then add -s outside the quotes.
Click OK.
