I am having problems connecting a win95 PC to novel 4.11 server. I recently reinstalled via cab files setup safe recovery windows 95 and re configured the 3com fast etherlink 3c905B-TX LAN adapter. I installed the Microsoft client and netware client and ipx, TCP/ip protocol. I am unable thought o get the novel logon prompt. Can anyone help me? Email me osattar@hotmail.com

no IP & IPX is not binding to the nic I can not even get the device to recognize the proper drivers for the nic

1/ make sur you've have copied the win95 cabs, the Novell Netware client setup files (v2.5 ou v3.11), and the latest 3c905 nic driver on your hard drive
2/ erase the network configuration and delete the nic in the installed components
3/ reboot. Win95 will detect a new nic and ask for the driver.
4/ delete netbios and netbeui protocol, and add Microsoft IPX/SPX compatible transport protocol and Microsoft TCP/IP protocol. add *Microsoft* netware client and reboot.
5/ normally, you may got a BINDERY connection to you NW411 server. Then install Netware Novell client (v2.5 if possible, otherwise v3.11 but if so, upgrade you'r 4.11 server to SP6A)

I think solution #3 is the best solution but...... if still you don't get novell logon prompt, please send a screen dump of network neighbour/properties.

Which is the Client instaled before the crash ??
Netware or Microsoft ??
If it were Netware, you have to uninstall it by using unc32.exe in Netware Client CD, because the windows registry !!
Is the server use Netware IP product??
If so you have to use TCP/IP protocol Stack from Netware Client by NovellTry to use only Ipx/spx.
Is the server working with other client ??
If no try so see server lan configuration by type Config at server console

It is easier to use the Novell client, available from novells web site. Also make sure you have configured the right frame for the IPX and also the right connector on the card if it is a combo
Cheers

My novell client can connect to the novell server using no #3 solution but
it's still can not connect to the Internet.
what is wrong?
-ASAP-

To connect to the internet via DUN, you have to make sure you have the tcp/ip protocal installed from the cab files.
(not to mention the dial up adapter should be installed to)Once you have that settled, open the properties on both of them... the dial up adapter should be (in the binding tab) checked next to the tcp/ip protocal, but not by anything else.... and in the tcp/ip protocal binding, the microsoft network box should be checked and not the novell network box.... its a whole huge mess...
the scary part is that if you connect with aol, this doesn't happen. *shiver* it's scary to think of aol in a good light.

sorry, I have a problem with novel 4.11. I use 532 Mb RAM, but novel system sees it as if it was 128 Mb.Would you help me how can I solve this problem..
Thanks,
