Re: Novell 3.12 Server Access for SBS 2003 clients

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I found that installing the Novell Client in IPX mode only

IPX dosen't really get in the way - dosen't harm or slow down your XP/2000

Ok its another bit of software to install but hey its click, click, click

OLD dos software will work best with IPX

I expected that - It has a Novell specific accounting package that they
cannot afford to change until well after I get hte SBS server installed
along
with all the desktop upgrades. Looking for this to be temporary. Besides
the novell box does what it does just fine and not many peple write
viruses
for it either. I do not care for Novell but when was the last time you
were
able to run a file server on Pentium 1 with 256 meg of ram and still have
decent performance with 30 users. When the hardware breaks I just stuff
the
SCSI card and drive in a new box and it comes up and works without going
through the rig that the new OSs make us go through.

versions ago...

Do you have to have this box around? Can't you migrate and cut the
cord? That has to be an old box.

Have used Gateway Services for Netware in Windows 2000. Is there a

Is there a way to share a Novell 3.12 drive out to the SBS clients?
Want to eliminate IPX protocol on all the clients.
Can I just install the Novell client on the SBS server then share the
Novell
mapped drives as an SBS drive?
