When you're done with this part you will want to open a terminal window and issue this command: service network restart Next you should creat at least one dir under /mnt where you'll mount the Netware volumes. /mnt/nwserver Chmod it 777 and then chown /mnt/nwserver to be owned by the user that is going to be accessing the servers from this workstation. Probably you... Now, you'll have to chmod ncpmount and ncpumount 4755: chmod 4755 /usr/bin/ncpmount chmod 4755 /usr/bin/ncpumount Then, to connect to the servers you will have to issue this command: ncpmount -S servername /mnt/nwserver -U username -P If all is well you'll be prompted for your password. type your password on the command line, hit enter and if you're dropped back to an empty command line you're done. you're now free to browse the network. If not, meticulously document "all" the error message that you're getting and get back to me. I've done this quite a few times and I think I could do it in my sleep. -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- Registered Linux User 182496 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 10:05pm up 2 days, 14:41, 3 users, load average: 0.62, 0.53, 0.50
