I'll talk with my husband about this, but from what he's told me in
the past it's hands-down bet that Novell is your problem.

Netware 4.11, WP5.1DOS and Win95 all work fine together and I've had no
problems mapping drive letters for folks to use in WP5.1.
Try checking these things first:
1. Check with the system administrator to make sure you've been given
rights to the directories you want to use.  If yu don't have rights,
then any mapping command (which means telling your pc that a directory
on the netware file server can be used as a drive) won't work.
2. Have the system administrator check the login scripts to make sure
that you are mapped to the directories you want to use.  Make sure that
NO DEFAULT is in the login script or that EXIT is the last command in
the login script or the default login script will run and you'll lose
the mappings.
3. As a fallback, you can setup Win95 to reconnect to each directory as
a mapped drive when you startup your computer.
Network Neighborhood>computer>directory folders>highlight the directory
you want to use/right click/map drive.  Be sure to check reconnect at
startup.

PS, in your WP5.1 Dos settings, disable the FAST SAVE option.  There are
known problems using FAST SAVE in a Netware environment.
