Problem accessing tree, context and servers, help !

[hellbeach]

Hello
I am having problems finding tree on clients.
If I add the tree name in "Scope list" and the server ip in "directory agent list" in service location in the client properties I can see the tree but I can´t access the context or the servers. If I then login locally on the machine and then connect to the server with "\\server ip", then I can look at the context and servers, and I can login without any problems. If I then reboot the machine the problem is there again.

Does anyone know what the problem is, and how I can resolve it ? Can I make some ajustments in the client properties to make it work ?
I have a hunch someone will say: set up SLP If that is the case, where can I find a good instruction on how to do this ?
And is there any way of resolving the problem temporarily without configuring SLP ?

Your hunch was right on.
If you're running Netware in an all IP setting, you have to configure SLP. There are no other options AFAIK. In an IPX environment, SAP ran automatically and b'cast to all clients. In IP only, SLP takes the place of SAP. There are TIDs and online documents at novell.com on setting it up and tweaking it. I'd post a link or 3 but support.novell.com is giving me 500 errors when I search on SLP.. sounds like the webmaster is having a bad day!
