what kind of client/server network are you running? If you're running a
Novell network you're going to be needing NDS in order to log onto the
network and identify yourself to the servers. You will also need to use
IPX protocols if you're making use of this protocol, which many still do
that run Novell. I'm not sure what you may need for an NT network other
than a large gun and maybe some C4. I'm sorry, but I hate windows and for
more "good" reasons than I care to get into right now.
At the moment I'm facing a similar prediciment. Where I work we run a
Novell network. I'm able to see all the machines that currently are using
NETBEUI, and there are precious few for obvious reasons and I can access
them as well from my Linux partition on my Windows machine. I
know...convoluded, isn't it? I'm unable to see the network volumes though
because I don't have access to Novell's authentication since there isn't a
Unix client install on my machine and the protocols necessary don't exist
on your system. So, I'm stuck for moment trying to figure out and learn
how to use Vmware so that I'm able to run Linux on my workstation, and
then when I must, run Windows at the same time in another window and have
access to that OS and it's applications at the same time. At this
particular point in time, the best of both worlds.
