No, I did not have that problem - sorry I can't be more helpful. I only have two stupid thoughts: 1) I assume you are persistently assigning drive letters and not using UNC? I don't think I can get unc to work in dos (errr, cmd window). 2) I don't suppose the old shell /nt= switch would help?
I see there are some excruciating posts about this ipx issue: http://tinyurl.com/32xyfu http://tinyurl.com/3c97vl The end of the last one says you can do ipx-less clients in NW6.5, but not sure if that works for you. Perhaps not. I bailed on Groupwise and NW a long time ago, so my NW knowledge has evaporated. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TomYuhas Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 12:36 PM To: Dataperfect Users Discussion Group Subject: RE: [Dataperf] DP Vista Novell Thanks Matt but I think Novell experience may be different. The problem is seeing the app after starting DP -- no apps appear listed on network folder, even though one is clearly present -- it just does not show in DP -- but does show in any file manager. Also, if I try to create a new database on network folder, it errors out. I'll need to look at error code if you need that, but DP just does not like network folder even though I am able to start DP from the same network folder. I think I have a handle on shortcut setup -- although I am starting DP from WP Office Shell 3.1. DP starts fine as I mentioned earlier, it just does not display any apps in the same directory that DP is started from and same as designated directory in Shell setup. So, I wonder if at anytime during your network setup did you run into problem where you could start DP but could not see any apps displayed? If yes, what setting changed that?
