4 Click Browse and browse to Entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network.
5 Browse to your domain > the DSfW server > the share you want to map the drive to.

for Windows
Organizations that have the Novell Client for Windows installed on Windows workstations can
continue to use the standard NCP methods, such as Novell drive mappings, to access data that is
located on NSS or NCP volumes on DSfW servers.
IMPORTANT: Do not join workstations that use the Novell Client for Windows to the DSfW
domain. Novell Client access and native Windows access to DSfW servers do not work well
together on the same workstation.
