This is incredibly old server software, amazing to see that such systems are
still in use today!
That said, if it does what's required then why change it, especially if a
replacement might introduce a whole raft of new problems.
Basically you shouldn't have any conflicts so long as you use the Microsoft
Netware client. I wouldn't try installing the NetWare 3.12 native client as
it wasn't designed for 32-bit systems (let alone 64-bit!) You could use
Novell's Client 32 for Netware 4, but IMHO you are better sticking with the
inbuilt XP client.
As for your connectivity issue, check LAN card powersave:

Good afternoon.
I am having a problem with my mapped drives.
They show under My Computer, but my programs will say ACCESS DENIED INVALID
PATH.
I get this on any Windows XP machine.
We have a Novell Network 3.12 on a PowerEdge Server where we keep our data.
The windows user just logs in, runs programs that read and write data to the
Novell server.
I thought it was a Windows/Novell conflict, but I have a windows xp machine
that I also keep data in.
It is the machine I use to write code on. It sits behind me and I have a
mapped drive to it also.
This happens until I click the drive letter in My Computer and then it has
access.
Why is WindowsXP not staying connected with the mapped drive, but yet I can
log it out of Novell and it can re-log itself in just fine.
So staying connected is not a problem just for some reason it looses
connection with the mapped drives????
Anyone out there know what I should check???
Thank you,
Juan
