Subject: mounting novell volumes
Nathan, the win98 desktop(s), is there a Novell client enabled, and set to
use IPX? The microsoft IPX drivers should do the trick if you don't want
to or don't have the full Novell client-32 drivers.

If memory serves me correctly, your typical netware 3.12 only talks IPX on
the network. IPX tunneled through TCP/IP was available, but was kinda
stinky.

The server boots okay, the sys volume is a 2gb partition, and it has almost 6
meg of free space.. The people who use this know nothing about novell,
neither does their company, and neither do I. THis is netware 3.12
It boots, takes about 15-20 minutes to mount the sys volume, but I can't get
any workstations to acknowledge it. We want to switch them over to a small
win98 machine that can do just file serving, but need the css data (from the
hotel reservation system) before we can do anything.

I'lll look at some of those free tools, thanks a lot Steve.
