I am running Novell Netware 386 and Windows 3.0 over an IBM token ring. A couple of my client staions are used by more than one person, three actually, one per shift. For some reason, exiting windows, logging out, and logging in the new (next) user is too complicated for the users. I am trying to run the Novell LOGIN command from windows and am not very successful. I have tried running it as a network control pannel optinion and as a stand alone DOS command. No luck. Even "run" from the Program Manager hangs up. In all cases the login asks for a user, accepts the user ID and then hangs before it can ask for a password. I have had marginal success with running in the enhanced mode, but it still hangs. Has anyone had any success with this kind of thing? I realize that Microsoft does not recommend starting networks from windows but I am under the impression that has more to do with loadin IPX and XMSNETx on top of windows. This is on PS/2-55sx's with IPX and Xmsnet4 loaded during the autoexec on the workstation. Thank you in advance for any help, thoughts, or suggestions you might have.
