When my users logon to the NetWare server, the logon script is not connecting them to the drives. I am getting Error Code 8901, Drive could not be mapped. When I checked this error code, it refers to the inabiility to use the TCP/IP services. Our setup is that all users have local accounts on the workstation that match the account on the NetWare 5.1 network. The local account is restricted to just the "User" group in Win2K Pro, but I have found that DHCP still provides the IP address. The users can logon and browse to a directory on the server but no one can map a drive. Please help.

This issue was directly related to the limited number of licenses on the Novell Server. Once all licenses were in use, the Windows 2000 and NT workstation would not map any drives on that server. Once we installed the proper number of licenses, all clients mapped properly
