login script error using IP only client

Novell Netware servers
5.1 SP4 and 6 SP3
Netware Client using IP only (latest versions for Win95, 98 and XP machines)

Problem is when mapping drives.  An snip from the login script follows:

map root g:=FS1/VOL4:APPS
map root u:=FS2/VOL1:APPS\aotfiles
map root t:=FS2/VOL1:APPS

The problem described below is intermittant, meaning that sometimes the server can be seen, and logs in properly.  Other times (estimate half the time), the following error(s) appear during login:

LOGIN-4.22.00-890: The specified server is unknown
LOGIN-4.22.00-430: The following drive mapping operation could not be completed.
[ROOT U:=FS2/VOL1:APPS\AOTFILES]
The error code was 89ff

This type of message moves around from drive letter to drive letter, server to server each login attempt.  We can find no consistency.

Thoughts?

Something that worked for me is to enter the servernames and their respective IP addresses to the NWHOST file on the client machines.
