Hi, If you experince slowdowns on Windows when the Novell client is installed, you can try the following:
Start -> Control Panels -> Network Connection -> Advanced Menu -> Advanced Settings -> Provider Order tab. There you can change the order in which each network client is used (moving the windows client above the novell client should help). NOTE: Changing the order could make browsing your Novell infrastructure slowdown... you will have to test to see how things work.
