I have several computers on my LAN. Most of them connect to the Netware server just fine, but a few of them don't. I am using the latest netware client. They are also logging into a Windows 2000 domain. I am out of ideas. Any help is greatly appreciated.

what errors do they give when tring to login to Netware?
Might want to remove the MS client until you have the netware one working then add MS back.

well that means the client is working but you don't have connectivity to the nw server.
What protocol is the nw server running and what version of nw server?
NW before 5 only uses ipx. 5 and above also use pure ip. Match the protocol being used on the server to the one one the workstation.

I have tried all these things, and still nothing. It is Novell 4.1 running IPX. The client has IPX and TCP/IP. We have set the frame rate to 802.2 on the server and the clients. We have other clients running fine with this configuration. For some reason these three computer don't work.

what do they have in common? Same switch or hub? Same hardware or from the same image?
What happens if you uninstall the MS client? Do you get connected to NW? If so then its a binding issue. Bind only ipx to the netware client [install ipx only client] and tcp/ip to the ms client.
