Novell 3.12& XP -- What version of Netware Client? 1

[oftenneedhelp]

We are upgrading all of our work stations from 98 to XP PRO, but still use NOVELL 3.12 (and can not upgrade right now). I need to know what version of Netware Client would be applicable. All propiretary apps use the native Btreive that came with 3.12 for database file structures. All Printers are connected through DPI print servers.

Thanks in advance for any help

You can use Client 4.91, just make sure you do a custom install and select IPX. Also choose Bindery instead of NDS for the connection type.

Thanks very much for the tip -- will probably begin testing today!

Be aware of version 4.90 though. We had problems in getting it to work with NetWare 3.12.
Upgrading to 4.91 resolved the problems.

We're doing the same thing. I've downloaded V4.91sp2. Now what? How do I run a "custom" install? Once the install starts, will it prompt me to choose IPX and Bindery over NDS? The 49sp2.txt file says says a prerequisite is NDPS and Netware 4.11. ???? Won't this work on 3.2?

Here's a step by step that I created because this comes up a lot..

Note that NW3.x doesn't have NDPS capability so you won't need to install the NDPS component.
