I can still navigate screen. my client is 9.0 sp2 any ideas?

Answer : netware 6.0 server question

Try creating a HOSTS file on your PC in Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc  - there is usually a HOSTS.SAM but it's a sample file that doesn't work with the .SAM extension.  The HOSTS file has to have no extension.  

The entry you should create is one for the tree.  See my earlier comment.

Once the tree can be found (because the treename is in the HOSTS file with the IP address of the server) you should be able to see the tree in your client.


Re: your question about the login during the install - is this on the server console?  You should log in using the admin ID, including the leading dot, as in:

.admin.myorg
