Trouble with MAP DRIVES
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 |

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: http://mylogon.net/support/psave/ "Juan Alonso" wrote: Good afternoon. I am having a problem with my mapped drives.

Thank you for the information.
I will see if the power-save is off on the cards. Also I wanted to add that we do use, on some systems, the Novell 32bit Client for Windows XP and it works good. No matter wich one I am useing it does the same thing so I am going with the card problem first. I will post my results here for all to read. Again, thanks Anteaus.
