Recently, we upgraded to NW 6 and our department was moved to a new building. We have a number of users who are using Macs running OS9 and OSX. In our new building, the central ITS department did not set up an Appletalk zone. Since the users weremoving to OSX anyway, we figured this would be a good time to stop using Appletalk. Now, the users are able to see the NW6 server on the network under CIFS, but when they try to log on they are refused. I have configured simple passwords for them and done all the other things I can find in the Novell documentation and TIDs. Has anyone else run into a similar problem?

Make sure that you have the latest afptcp.nlm running on the server. I believe that Novell has just released a Native File Access support pack. You can also get an nmasmon.log to see where the connection is failing.

I can't say I've had the problem with user's not being able to attach from Windows workstations using CIFS on Netware. However I have been able to get the Macintosh native file access working with OS 9 and OS X. You'll need to firstly ensure that you have SLP v2 configured with a scope called "DEFAULT" (see support documentation at Novell to learn how to set this up). Your Macs will then be able to browse to your Novell server using native AFP. You can check this by issuing the "DISPLAY SLPSERVICES" on your system console to view what services are visible to your workstations via SLP.
