Network Path settings
I cannot find a way of assigning a path to a Netware drive when logging on from W95. I can add paths in the config.sys but only to C:. I can of couse add paths After logging in.
Any ideas?

You can have paths to network drives setup, surely not ?

There are a couple of ways to solve this. First, if you boot to DOS and then use a batch file to login to the LAN you simply add MAP... statements to the batch. If you are logging in to a Novell LAN you can also set up either a System or User login script and place the MAP statements there. Finally if you use the My Computer or Network Neighborhood icons and turn on the toolbar there is a Map Network Drive button. If you check the "Reconnect at logon" box the drive mapping will be re-established each time you login.

Having turned on the PC and automatically logging on to the Network, I need to be able to got to DOS and when I type PATH see various Netware directories avilable without having to do anything else. Of course I know how to login, map,connect etc That is not the problem.
I guess I am at a loss about what you wish to do.
I know that i can go into my dos window in 95 and goto any drive i had mapped with my login.
Sorry i could nto help.

By your question it sounds like you want to path to a network drive before logging onto the network (through autoexec.bat) which cant be done. A network loggin has to take place before a path can be set. I the netware loggin script network drives can be set as search drives (similar to pathing in dos) without actually assigning them letters.
