Had almost the same problem. There is a "fix" or atleast something
different with the vlm's/ .386's and .drv's that come with Netware IP.
The reason I say this is that after I load a normal client (ie:
lsl,3c5x9,ipxodi,vlm) and do what you did, same results. BUT if I do an
install from the Netware client dir (I made it under
sys:\public\client\tcpip, but it really just the doswin files) and then
reboot, the ipx and winsock/odipkt's work together.
No changes were made to anything just ran install. (also told it not to
replace newer versions.)
Like I said, I did notice a few extra files with the Netware IP
package. Other then that, who knows..but it works...

hehehe I could see this one in a Novell 4.1 setting:
  CN=cute_girl_in OU=fishnet O=stockings

Yes, we novell admin's are a little strange. hahahaha (heck, its late
too)
