Win95 Network Setup installed a real mode client for NetWare at the
same time as the protected mode one. If you exit to DOS ("Restart in
DOS mode") or boot to "Command Prompt Only", and you're using
Microsoft's Client for NetWare, you can log in to the NetWare server
by typing
NET START NWREDIR
at the DOS prompt. This will load a NETX compatible client using NDIS2
drivers and protocols. You can then change to your login drive and
perform a normal DOS client login. Since it's only a NETX compatible
client it can't perform NDS logins; so you could try:
NET START NWLINK
Which uses Novell's VLM client, to do NDS logins. I haven't tried
using Microsoft's IPX and Novell's client together, but in theory it
should work. If it doesn't, you can always load Novell's net card
drivers (LSL, etc) and VLM.
NOTE: NWREDIR's real mode components take more conventional memory
than a NETX client would, so you should only use this if your
application can't run in a DOS session, or if you're performing any
debugging. However, these components will automatically load high if
you have upper memory available. You should prepare a special PIF
file for this kind of configuration.
In addition, I found sometimes NET START NWREDIR would give a "This
file system is incompatible" style of message, which happens more
often on NetWare 4 servers. If this happens, NET START NWLINK followed
by NETX or VLM should work.
