HELP! Novell - NT connect problem

Hi,
    We've been thrown into novell network position and don't know a lot
about it.
The server is running Novell 3.2 and we are trying to connect a WinNT
workstation (SP3) to it. We currently have a Windows95 machine
connecting fine. What are we missing? We installed the Novell Netware
client for WinNT, but when it asks for server name, it doesn't accept
it.
We can't figure out why it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.

Brian,

Here's a couple of things...
1)  Check the frame type of your IPX/SPX packets.
      I believe the default is 802.2...  The Win 95 machine is
      probably on AutoDetect.
2)  Novell 3.2 uses bindery based structure...  Make sure you're
     specifying a Preferred Server and not a Default Tree and Context...

That should do it!

If you still have problems, remove Client Services for Netware and
the IPX/SPX protocol.  Restart the system and reinstall both again.
Reconfigure everything and restart your system.  You may have a
buggy install of either the protocol or the service...

Good Luck...
