Pure IP NW 5.1 with DOS

[SirAldemar]

I have a small network with four (4) NW 5.1 servers running pure IP. Attached to this network I have several DOS based clients. I have been able to get these users on-line but only to one of the NW servers. These clients cannot see any of the other three servers.

If I change the "Preferred Server" variable in the NET.CFG file the client will then log into the new specified server but again is limited to only the server listed in that option of the NET.CFG file.

I have tried to create a host file to see if that would help resolve the server names but no luck.

Does any one know how to get a DOS IP client to connect to multiple NW 5.1 IP servers?

As long as you are connecting via NDS rather than Bindery connections, you should be able to map drives and it will authenticate to other servers.

As long as the NETWARE PROTOCOL = NDS BIND is in your NET.CFG, you should not have any issues -----------------------------------------------------
