Novell problem with my Mac
I have a Power Mac 6100/66 which is connected via TCP to the net but it is also capable of connecting to the Novell server via IPX. Anyway, the TCP part works perfect on the Mac side but it's when I try to connect to the Novell server via the PC side that things fail. Below is my startnet.bat and net.cfg files. If these check out ok, then is it something to do with the settings on the Mac side that's preventing me from seeing the Novell server, and if so, how do I change this so that I can see the server.
<startnet.bat>
cd\nwclient
set nwlanguage=english
lh c:\nwclient\lsl.com
lh c:\nwclient\macodi.com
lh c:\windows\odihlp.exe
lh c:\nwclient\ipxodi.com
lh c:\nwclient\vlm.exe /PS=<servername>
cd\
All the drivers load fine, but when 'vlm' loads and looks for the server drive, it sits there for 10secs and just continues to load the rest of the config files.
<net.cfg>
Link Driver MACODI
Port 300
INT 10
node addess <address>
Frame Ethernet_802.2
Frame Ethernet_II
Protocol IPX E0 Ethernet_802.2
Netware DOS Requester
First Network Drive = F
Preferred Server = <servername>
File Handles = 60
Link Support
Buffers 4 1500
MemPool 4096
All that's on the DOS side is DOS 6.22 and Win 3.1.
<startnet.bat>
cd\nwclient
set nwlanguage=english
lh c:\nwclient\lsl.com
lh c:\nwclient\macodi.com
lh c:\windows\odihlp.exe
lh c:\nwclient\ipxodi.com
lh c:\nwclient\vlm.exe /PS=<servername>

I had the same problem a few years ago with a 6100 dos compatible, check to see id the MacIpx control panel is loaded on the mac side, if my memory serves me correct that caused a conflict on the pc side , if it is loading try disableing it
