I just converted a NetWare 6.0 server from IPX/IP to IP only. I have a
mix network of Windows and Netware servers. The only problems I notice
after the conversion is I am not able to see the NetWare server from Win
NT network neighborhood that dose not have Novell windows client
installed. This happen when I removed the IPX services from the Novell
servers. What I also notice is if the PC or server has the Novell client
installed I am able to see the server if I make a connection via \\server
_ ip\volume_name.
The problem is I need this server to see the NetWare server but I can’t
install the Novell client. I was wondering if there is a way to maintain
a pure IP network and remove the Novell Clients from these servers.

Thank you,


Eddy

Configure native file access on your netware server and you can access
the server using the microsoft client.

Yes, I guess I should have been more specific.

Question: If the Novell Client for Netware only see the IPX network why is
it seening the Novell IP server after I enter \\server_IP\volume_name. But
when I enter the same from the server without the Novell Client I get
cannt find server.

Let me know why that is the case.

The microsoft client for netware only supports IPX. The Novell client32
supports IP and IPX.

If you setup NFA and use the microsoft client for microsoft networks,
you can access your netware server that way.

And the reason you can't see the IP server is because it is most likely on
another subnet that does not forward multi-cast (the default) and SLP is not
configured (the default).

If you don't want to need to do the IP address stuff, you should look into SLP
configuration of the client and servers.

The bottom of this DOC also has a good list of links.

He can't see the IP server because he's trying from a machine without
client32 installed.

I understand that, but he appeared to have a two part question.
Or at least it appeared to me that he was curious about why he could attach to a
server using the Novell Client when he could not see it.
