I have a client with Win 2000 connecting to Novell server. The server is only a conduit to a router which takes this client to the Internet. The client needs access to all its local drives. I do not want
the client to be able to even see the Novell F: drive. I want to do execute this security from the
the client side with 2000. How do I do it. I need step by step. Thanks.

Silly question: if the Novell server just acts as a router for this client, then why does he log in? No log in=no drives visible. The only way your client can see the server is to browse via Networking Neighborhood, and that you can block away with policies.
Or, if you don't want to do that, you can configure the Novell client to not allow a right-click on a server object in Networking Neighborhood and authenticating. You do this in the "Advanced Menu-settings" tab of your Novell Client, where you can change the settings for "Enable Login to Server" or "Show NDS Objects" and things like that.

If you want to disable the logon to a Novell server at startup, check this document:

To JimBb: How can client access the router if it is not logged into the network. Maybe a stupid question, but I do not understand, how he gets to router without having some access to server. YOu need to give me more detail. "Things like that" do not fly. I have already been to Network Neighborhood.

Maybe you are not mentioning some information I need, but in general access to a network, or being logged in or so, is not needed to access the internet.

Your workstation has IP configured, and that is sufficient to find the internet. Type "IPCONFIG /ALL" in a command prompt on your workstation, and that info should match your network. For example, the "gateway" should be the IP address of your router.
And even if the server acts as a router between your internet-router and your workstation (which would mean you have two network cards in your router, one to "your" side, one to the internet-router's side), you still don't need to be logged in. The only reason for logging in is for accessing files on the disk of the server.

What do you mean by '"Things like that" do not fly. I have already been to Network Neighborhood.'?
