Sorry for the delay, I've been swamped by the activity on this board, and my
getting a cable modem has only made it possible for me to get the tidal wave
of messages 100 times faster.
Truthfully, I haven't had the need to get linux connected as a client on my
company's Novell network, but I have an linux ftp server at my desk that I
can play with.
I was reading the HOW-TOs and it seems there's a possibility that IPX needs
to be compiled into the kernel--is it already part of your kernel? Could
this be the problem?
Also, and this is just a thought, do you have samba running, with encrypted
passwords on? This may conflict with Novell's open text password
transmission.
Can you at least see a Novell network, even if you can't mount anything?
This is something that I had been planning to play around with, but never
got the chance to do... I've a busy schedule this month, but I'll try to fit
it in and give a try.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
