[Samba] Attaching to Netware-Server

[Jurzitza, Dieter]

Dear listmembers,
recently our sysadmin turned off the support for ipx-protocol. Since then I
found no way to mount my home-directory on the net (novell) on my linux box.
Using ipx, I had had the same servername etc) I found a lot of discussions
about the way vice versa, but no FM I could R to manage around this issue
(i.e. mounting a Netware volume on a linux box).
Anybody out there having an idea on how to do that? I tried using mount -t
smbfs, but I always get a messagt that my user would not be known. Hopefully
this is not "off topic".
Many thanks for your help in advance,

take care
