How to connect
I have a Lenovo netbook. I have Novell Client 4.9 on it. It has a wireless card installed. We have new wireless access installed in our building. When I try to go wireless, it just doesn't work. There are known issues other techs on our staff are having and they offer tips, i.e. uninstall any 3rd party software - think vantage is an example. Sometimes if you roll back the wireless card driver, that may help. I have been told that Novell could be an issue. We have 45 of these and we really need a good fix. This Lenovo netbook originally had win 7 on it. We have downgraded and imaged them with Win xp.
Can you connect without Novell initially and then use the tray icon to log into Novell afterwards once the wireless is up? (Some wireless drivers don't support pre-logon authentication and so the wireless is not live to authenticate you to Novell (or AD - unless you use a cached logon).

Good question. I will try. I do know that I can see the tree when looking through the "Red N." That is why it puzzles me, and why it seems to be an issue with Novell.
OK, just tried and the answer is YES....so then how do I fix the original login? Thank you for this much.

After one login via the Red N, the netbook logs in fine. Thank you.
