Any information on why when logging onto a Netware server with a Windows 2000 client does the client machine continue to reboot after making the connection to the permitted Netware servers. IPX/SPX is installed on the client machine. If IPX/SPX is disabled the machine will connect to the Netware network with no problems. Because of some of the legacy applications used on the network IPX/SPX is required. 95 / 98 /NT 4 clients are not having this problem. Please help solve this problem. Thanks JLM

I had the exact same problem. The only way we could get around it was to disable the 'run scripts' option on the NetWare client and just created shortcuts to needed network drives.

The problem seemed to be an intermittent one but did seem to go away once we disable this option.

Not ideal I know but at the moment there is virtually no support for W2K on Novell's knowledgebase.

You are going to find that any calls to an external executable in the login script will not be a good idea unless it is a win32 executable. Also, check how you installed the client, if you selected ip and ipx or ip with ipx compatibility, you will have connectivity issues, not reboot problems.

Try using the nds name for a directory map rather than the usual login script commands.

That is the only thing that makes since here.
