There is a feature in NW 4.x called "Bindery Context".  This term refers to the location of the 
"bindery-represented" users in the tree.  When a user logs in or attches to a NW 4.x tree while logged in to a 
NW 3.1x server, a bindery-type attachment is made (because LOGIN.EXE and ATTACH.EXE in NW 3.1x don't 
know what a tree or NDS is).

By default, bindery attachments made to the NW 4.x server (this applies to your situation) look for the userIDs 
in the same CONTAINER where the NW 4.x server OBJECT is.  You can load SERVMAN.NLM at the NW 4.x 
console to add more CONTAINERS to the bindery context.  This bindery context is like the DOS path 
environment; when you type a command at the DOS prompt, DOS looks in the current directory, then proceeds 
 to search each directory in the path for the executable.

With bindery context, the same idea applies; NW 4.x first looks in the conatiner where the server object is, then 
proceeds to search each container specified in the bindery context until the userID is found.

So, your user just logged in to the NW 3.12 server.  Now he wants to "attach" to the NW 4.1 server.  He types 
ATTACH [SERVERNAME]/[USERID], and type his userID and password (if required).  Now he's attached to the 
NW 4.1 server, great!  Don't forget to use bindery methods for mapping drives, as NW 3.12 does not 
underestand NDS!

A better way to do this is to have the user first log into the NW 4.1 server, then "attach" to the NW 3.12 server 
(using 'LOGIN [NW312SERVER]/[USERID] /NS').  This way, you can take full advantage of the benefits NDS 
gives you, while having access to resources on the NW 3.12 fileserver.
