Beginning with NetWare 5, the Novell servers and clients
allow for support of native IP (Internet Protocol). This
means that the native IP stack installed on your client
workstation is the protocol used to communicate with the
server. No additional protocols or services are necessary.
Use the latest Novell client with service pack that is
appropriate to your operating system: Windows 95,
Windows 98, or Windows NT. Then, when you install the
Novell client software, select the option appropriate to the
Novell server version: the IP option for a NetWare 5 server
(the IPX option is not necessary for NetWare 5).
With Novell NetWare 5, the Novell client and server can
use native IP, including Microsoft IP, to connect with IP
addresses. NetWare 5 resolves resources through its
Network Directory Services (NDS). NDS is the equivalent
of DNS to the Internet or WINS to Microsoft. With NDS,
you are authenticated to the tree, much like being
authenticated to the domain in Microsoft networking. With
NDS, you normally enter the tree name and not a specific
server when logging in. The NDS tree structure usually
identifies resources, such as servers, through names.
For example, you might call your authentication server
auth_server.
However, NDS names cannot be resolved in the same
manner through a VPN Client tunnel as they can on the
LAN. This is because broadcasts and multicast protocols
do not function through the VPN Client tunnel.
To work around this, try one or both of the following:
1. On your local workstation, add a file that maps the
name to the IP address. For Windows 95/98, call the file
NWHOST and put the file in the directory Novell\Client
32. For Windows NT, call the file HOSTS and put the
file in the directory [system root
directory]\system 32\drivers\etc, where
system root directory means the name of the directory
in which Windows NT is located on your workstation.
