Hi,

is there a Linux client software to access a NetWare 4.x server via IPX as a Linux 7.0 client? I donīt want to use TCP/IP.
Ideas/suggestions to Stefan@Strehse.de

Regards,
Steff

Your NIC should be configured properly. Try
pinging another host. Then try this command:
ipx_configure --auto_configure=on
--auto_primary=on

type slist and you should see the servers

Then, try this command:
ncpmount -S [servername] -U [username]
mount-point

Server will then prompt you of a password.
To check, CD to your mount-point and type ls.

Remember though that you should have
ipx-utils and ncpfs installed as rpm.

Yep, there's a client but it is vendor
specific and is a commercial product.
Jared's suggestions are the only way to go
for free i know about.
See your ipx-howto for details.
