Hi there,

How does one get a Mac to connect to a Novell Netware 5.1 server? Thanks.

You need the Mac client for Novell. Unfortunately, Novell dropped all official Mac support several years ago. The client development and support was handed-off (or purchased) by ProSoft Engineering. The latest client version is available at: http://www.prosofteng.com/index.php?prod&netware&cbrief.

Actually, Novell has just (11-01) released Native File
Access Pack, which allows the use of the Chooser
and TCP/IP to replace Appletalk and IPX and the old
client method. This NFAP is inexpensive ($200
download from Novell site) and can enable Windows
and Unix/Linux as well (if you want). It installs on
the server, not the client.

Passwords are affected and installation is not too
clear but it works!
