I have just installed a standalone NT Server. I also installed the NT 4.0 Option Pack. (the purpose of the machine is an internal webserver) The server is connected through a network to the main server. This is NT Server with Novell Netware 5. After that I installed the Novell Client for NT. Now when I logon, I get a script full of error 8884, server is unknown, mapping won't work either. In the Novell Knowledge Base I can only find related topics for Netware 4.11. During the installation of the client I didn't get the screen where you fill in the name of the server, tree and context.
What can I do about this?
Thanks for your time.

on Netware 5.x and 4.x normaly it is:

Error: "Login-4.21.14-430: The following drive mapping operation could not be completed.
[ROOT s16:=.mymap.myorg:\. The error code was 8875."

Error: "Login-4.21.15-430: The following drive mapping operation could not be completed.
[ROOT s16:=.mymap.myorg:\. The error code was 8884."

Error: "Login-4.21.14-430: The following drive mapping operation could not be completed.
[ROOT s16:=.mymap.myorg:\. The error code was 8804."

Error occurs when executing a MAP command from a login script of a 4.11 File Server using Novell Client for NT v4.51.1029.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cause
The command in the login script that returned the error above was:

MAP ROOT S16:=.MYMAP.MYORG:\

The syntax used in the MAP command in the login script contained a colon ":" (the one after MYORG in this example) but the directory map object referenced in the map command did not point to a volume root. Instead, it pointed to a subdirectory below the root. The NT client is behaving correctly to produce an error in this situation.

NOTE: With the Novell Client for WIN95, executing the same map command as above, will not produce an error, regardless of whether or not the directory map object points to a volume root.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix
Unless the directory map object referenced in the MAP command actually points to a volume root, do not use a colon ":" (the one after MYORG in this example) in the syntax of the map command.
