One thing you may want to check is your net.cfg file.  Make sure the 
spelling for "NetWare DOS Requester" is spelled correctly.  You will 
experience similar problems to yours if anything in there is not spelled 
correctly.  Particularly the word Requester; sometimes we make a mistake 
and spell it requestor.  Notice the "o" rather than what is supposed to 
be the letter "E".

You can add in your network DOS requester setting of your net.cfg file 
the following:  

NetWare DOS Requester
	First network drive=f
	Force first network drive=f
