We have an IBM ThinkPad 755Cs running IBM PC-DOS 6.3. It has an IBM PCMCIA Ethernet (10Base-T) card. We sometimes run it as a networked workstation talking to our Novell NetWare 3.11 server. We use the ODI stack with NETx. Despite the fact that I have a LASTDRIVE=E statement in the CONFIG.SYS file, when I load up the ODI stack, it insists on seeing drive H: (instead of drive F:) as the first network drive when it attaches to our server. This is a minor annoyance (everyone around here is used to drive F: being the first network drive), but if anyone can suggest a fix so that it will see drive F: as the first network drive as our MS-DOS machines do, it would be much appreciated. -- Daniel M.

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
