I do not know Novell at all. We have a novell 4.11 and the server is asking to run dsrepair.

How do we run dsrepair.

In your console, type "dsrepair" and the dsrepair screen should load...
Than repair the database until you have 0 errors.

Actually, With Netware 4.x, you'll need to type "load dsrepair" from the console prompt (with Netware 5 and newer you can just type "dsrepair").
Select "unattended full repair" and press enter.
If there are any errors it should repair them. If itfinds any errors, when it completes, go ahead and run the repair again until it completes with no errors.

Thanks for your reply. I acutally found the answer myself. But your answer was correct. I must type Load dsrepair from teh console prompt. I ran it only once and We were able to log back onto the network.
