I have a Windows 2000 Server. I logon with administrator. This server is used to store the database for a program that runs off of my main server, which is a Novell Netware 4.11 server. All my machines login to the Novell server. I can logon to the 2000 Server from my workstations, but when I try to get on my Novell server from the 2000 Server I get the Error that states "Error The Credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials. Occurred while trying to connect to \\"server_name". If you can give me some advice on this problem I would appreciate it. Thanks.
 
It appears that you already have a connection to the Novell server and when you try and establish another connection, then you get the error. This the same message I got on my 2000 server when trying to connect to another 2000 server, when I disconnected my mapped drive, then it let me on without any problems..
Hope this helps...

 
You're getting this error because of a password mismatch or there is not an "Admistrator" account. Check your Novell server for the existence of this account, and make sure the passwords match. Typically on older Novell servers this will be the "Supervisor" account as opposed to an "Administrator" account.
