I have a client that has a Novel Netware 5 server. They are currently using the microsoft client to connect and are having some performance issues with server resources. I thought I would try the Novell client to see if it improves. Keep in mind I know nothing about Netware. I downloaded the Novell Client 4.91 SP4 and installed it. It could not find the preferred server to log on. Their server is not IP enabled just IPX. The Microsoft client finds the server automatically. Is this the appropriate client version? Is there a configuration of the client I am missing? Their network consists of 3 workstations running WinXP and one Novell server connected via a Linksys gigabit ethernet switch. Below is the error I am seeing in their event logs which started this process.
