Do you have NFS enabled on your Novell server? I believe CIFS, AFS, and or NFS have to be enabled for you to map/mount Novell volumes in Linux.

solved my problem - when i installed it it asked for the closest distribution to mine and i chose red hat install, (the other option was debian install) so when i chose the debian install it works fine.

i did have nfs installed.

Hey, I was just glad you got it to work. I'm using mainly Windows machines on my Novell network, alongside NetWare servers.

Most of my Linux-ing is done at home. Web servers, firewalls, and the like.

Well sort of, I'm wondering how the linux (pick your flavor) interacts with the other windows work stations and the server. What are the services I need to install in order to be fully interoperative with both? (Soime of the windows boxes are in a work group - mostly mine)

ok well i'm running mandrake 9.1 at work, with the windows workstations mostly being 2000.
i loaded samba for the windows part, and then for novell i loaded ncpfs, and a novell client for linux (the link is in the above posts). i've also got linneighborhood installed.
hope this helps.
