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

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.
