    From the ICMP protocol point of view the TCP/IP implementation of both
    Windows NT 4 Server and Workstation is exactly the same.
    
    However, what you CAN DO is differentiate between different Service
    Packs.

    the codebases are exactly the same(or should be).  kernels between
    workstation and server should be the same.  The main difference is in
    tuning, a few registry checks, and sometimes more software is installed.
    If
    you can use theese techniques to id the different systems, you may have
    a
    chance.  try looking at things like #of syns before dropping, perhaps
    distribution of ISN's, or something along those lines.
