Login Error 890
On an XP machine, while trying to login using Novell Netware 4.9 SP1a, I get error message Login_loginwint32.dll-890 specified server is unknown. This error popped up about a month ago, it went away, and now it is back. I have tried the Novell site, without a positive response. I can complete the login, but when the login finishes, it does not provide all services. The Login script also shows the login error several times.
Have you been able to identify the specific statement(s) in the login script that produce the error? I'm thinking that somewhere in the login script there are references to a server that has been shut down or doesn't exist any more.

Oh, on the client side - even if you don't have DHCP providing SLP info, don't specify anything in the Service Location tab unless there is no alternative. Letting the login server dish the SLP info to the client seems to work best.
Also, you're not using "Novell Netware 4.91a" - that's the Novell Client32 version and SP.
It might help to know what version/SP of NetWare you have on the back-end of all this. How you handle SLP changes from version to version, especially between 5x and 6x.
