Question : Windows XP client on Netware 3.12 server
I am having trouble with Windows XP connection to an old Novell 3.12 server. Primary server is Windows 2000 but I still need to access this server for historical data.
Machine in question is a Dell Optiplex GX-270 @ 2.6GHz
- Windows XP Pro Sp1
- 512MB RAM
I have downloaded and installed the Novell Client 4.90 SP1a.
- installed as IP ONLY
- specified frame type as 802.3
- set network name to match server
- bindery login only
I can logon including running login script. However, when I go to Windows Explorer to access directories I will be able to get to some of them for a few seconds (15-20) and then "network name not found" error occurs. At this time I can't see any Novell resources. I can't even get to the directories that I could earlier. All Novell resources are unavailable until I reboot again.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Answer : Windows XP client on Netware 3.12 server
Install NWFS.SYS from 49psp1a_nwfs.exe
It solves your problem, namely the following:
"3. Client drops connection to server while browsing volume. See TID 10089964 (357723)"

Not necessary, but you might also want to install updated nwgina too.
