i have a novell server 3.12 which has 20 98 workstations on it which all log on using client for netware networks. I have recently put an additional novell 5 server onto the network, now there seems to be a clash between the two servers because the 98 machines cannot log onto the novell 3.12 server, but if i unplug the novell 5 server from the network, then the machines are able to log on. What can i do to fix this? is there a command that i can put into the startup.ncf? to somehow disable the communication between the two servers?

when you have a 5 server, the clients will all try to log into it, you have to set the preferred server option on the client, and change the other setting, I forgot what they call it, but the default is NDS, BIND change it to BIND, NDS.

Netware 5 can only exist on the same network as other Netware 5 Servers, not 3.x.

Also..

check ethernet type - if IPX on W98 is set to Auto detect ethernet type (802.2, 802.3, etc.) AND your NW3x is set for 802.3 (for example) and NW 5 is 802.2, W98 could be "locking in" on the first packet type it sees (802.2 perhaps). Cure: change NW3x to the same packet type as NW5, or add it as an additional type (or vice versa). Force W98 to use a specific packet type. Set preferred server option in client properties on W98 to look for NW3x box. Set "Reply To Get Nearest Server = Off" on the NW5 box. Make sure NW Client is NOT bound to TCP/IP stack on W98.

Listen to RF not to Dave. Dave does not have a clue. Any version of NetWare will co-exist with any other version of NetWare if you know what you're doing. RF is right with all the settings he's recommending. They should fix your problem.

Set bindary context and move the NW312 server in it and you should be fine.
