I have a need to run Novell with NDIS drivers (Lan Support Program V1.2) on Ethernet. The actual reason is to allow Novell to coexist with IBM's PC/3270 on the same PC. How does one do it? Being quite ignorant in Novell issues, I tried to configure Novell to make it believe it works with a Token Ring adapter. I booted the machine with Lan Support Program drivers, and ran IPX. I can see that IPX accessed the Lan Support Program, but NET3 says that it can't find a server. Needless to say, a server does exist on the segment (and is accessible when I run IPX configured for the WD8003E card). I must be doing something wrong here. So: 1. Can this be done at all? That is, can Novell work via an NDIS interface? 2. If (1) above is affirmative, how do I configure the Novell workstation to do this? Alternatively, I thought I could install the FTP Software NDIS-Packet convertor, and then run Novell with the packet driver interface. This is less desirable (since I guess I won't be able to run yet another application - like Clarkson's TN3270 - over the same driver), but can be used as a last resort. So here comes next question: 3. How do I configure Novell to use a Packet Driver? I believe I should obtain some driver from Clarkson or BYU - what and which one? Thanks for any info - happy new year Doron
