As long as you don't want to run Windows "across" the net all you have
to do is run Windows Setup (main group). In the network section it lists
several Netware versions, pick the one that fits. This will get Windows
to recognize your network. I don't run Novell so I don't know what you
will have to do to your apps to make them work. Shouldn't be to much
though.

The SETUP/N allows you to have all (most) of your Windows files on the 
server and run Windows from the server instead of from the workstation. 
This saves a lot of disk space but increases the load on your network. 
If you want to run Windows from the server you might want to check out
WinLogin from MS. It keeps a database of win.ini files on the server for
each user. So that each time they log on (from any workstation) they
will get their colors, groups, etc. If some of their groups are for apps
that are on a workstation, those apps won't be available obviously. But
server apps will be.
