Hello, I'm trying to get the Requester to work with an SMC Elite 16 card. 
I'm only trying to use Novell at this point, no other protocol stacks involved.
IT seems to load up fine, but during the desktop setup, the screen switches
to full screen and displays an error message across the top:

NWD0115  Failure getting connection ID 0x000F

Using the network icon, I can see it's found the server, and I can log in by
double clicking on the server icon. I can also see the network drives and
traverse the directory structure on them. I can't open a dos or OS/2 window
and login. Under a dos window, I get "packed file corrupt" in response to the
login command. Under OS/2, I can login, but can't map any drives. Nor can I
map drives using the NWTools that come with the requester.

I'm using the smc8000 ODI driver. The server is running Netware 2.12 (Ugh).

So, I'd be happy to send along config.sys and net.cfg to anyone who thinks
they can help.

Or is the problem the ancient version of Netware we're running here?

Thanks, Jay
