Win XP Pro wont connect to Novell Sever
« on: December 21, 2005, 10:08:06 AM »
Hello All
Im running my pc with Win xp prof  and we are using a novell server running netware. The PC has came with an ethernet card built in and the network IS NOT wireless

I can not get my pc to connect. I downloaded the client from novell  
491sp1e.exe
because the XP Cd didnt seem to have the novell client on it.

However, when installing it, I hear it should have asked me for the tree or server name. It didnt. When I go to click to allow it to browse for either one it doesnt show a tree nor the domain server. I type in the name of the server but it say its incorrect.

What is the correct process for getting my pc connected?

I was using  XP home and was told  that this version doesnt work with networks so I have purchased the XP prof up grade CD. But thats not working either.

Please advise.
Thanks

In LAN properties, do you have Novell Client for Windows installed and checked in the components box?
