I am experiencing the same problem Kelvin is.  Windows 95 workstations
running Client32 connected to a NetWare 3.11 server on a Token-Ring
network.  All systems are experiencing the same problem - locking up
when creating new files/directories on the file server.  In addition,
they will periodically reboot when sending mail and meeting requests
from MS Mail and Schedule+.  

I have tried reinstalling and applying all known patches for Windows 95
and the 2.11 version of Client32.  The problem persists.  We are
preparing to upgrade to IntraNetware (NW 4.11) in hope of improving the
situation.  I would consider tossing Client32 (no lockups with the MS
client), but our membership system vendor only supports this
configuration.

It is encouraging to see that I'm not the only one with this problem. 
It would be more encouraging if I could get some real guidance on this
from Novell or Microsoft.  Neither one seems to have heard of the
problem.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
