we are mapping several drives with the novell logon. everything seems OK until you open explorer (my computer, my documents, windows explorer, ext) at that point explorer crashes and reloads. nothing is writen to the event viewer and dr watson simple say that explorer crashed and was restarted (as if I could tell). We did find that if we map the drives from the root ie. cosnds\cos\downtown\ours\location\servername\directory instead of servername\directory it works fine. We have no idea why.

Hi,

I've had this problem as well.

Install client 4.8 from Novell, this sorted my problem. You could also see if installing SP1 for Win2K Pro sorts the problem.

There do seem to be quite a few problems with client 4.7 and Win2K though so I'd try the new client first.

Download it from

http://http://www.novell.com/download

it's a free upgrade.
