Is there any way around using NDS2 on a dos boot disk????

Basically, is it possible to use the *.lan drivers with the ipx/spx stacks from the dos version of the Novell client to connect to an NT server?

thnx tsn

It will be impossible to authenticate to an NT server using Novell client files/drivers. You can connect to an NT server in DOS mode using the NET START and then NET LOGON commands in DOS. You will first have to load all the DOS/Real Mode drivers for the workstation's network interface card before running the NET commands.

For more explanation of the NET command, type NET /? at a DOS prompt, and also research Microsoft's web site regarding the unattended install feature of their operating systems.

Good luck.
