We have a mixture of Novell 4.1 and 4.11 servers, all with the latest service packs.
Theses servers are spread out over several offices connected via WAN connections.
The clients use Client32 to connect to their local servers
The network protocols are IPX/SPX
We do NOT have TCP/IP and it is not an option at this time to install TCP
