assistant: NetWare clients, on their own, do not provide peer-to-peer networking.
There must be a separate product to provide services on the desired
computer.
If you wish to have peer services in a NetWare 3 environment, then
Personal NetWare permits this, using a variety of the VLM client that
is compatible with both Personal NetWare and NetWare 3.x (or 4.x). If
you wish to add such a HD to NetWare 4's NDS, however, there is no
product available at this time to permit that.

My suggestions would be:
Use two completely identical machines for the two halves of the SFT3 server.
Use proper MSL cards. I've used Plaintree Wavebus MSL cards with no
problems. I tried configuring a test SFT3 server with a couple of 100Mbit
Ethernet cards as the MSL link, but I could never get the server completely
stable, whereas I can't recall that the production boxes with the Plaintree
cards have ever crashed in over two years of operation.

I will admit that I am biased toward Compaq hardware.  The last SFT3 was

My server problems continue. Here is what vrepair is reporting.
  Error at directory entry 236160
  Original Entry - Unrecognized entry
  Not marked as a free directory
  The reserved area was not properly zero filled
  Correct Entry - Free entry
For a total of 18,270 errors worth of this. (sometimes more some less)
I guess the question is what is not properly zero filling the reserved area
r
not marking the area as free? What controls that process?

Using novell client to set up machines, attaches, logs in and maps resources
perfectly. The machines running IPX & IP can Ping

All machines running IPX & IP dies when win 3.11 is started
When (or right after) executing Novell login
Message is similar to "Progman caused General Protection Fault

I remember hearing a few months back that Samba had been ported to Novell
Netware. I've since looked on Novell's site and can't find it anywhere - is
it commercial, or where can I get it from?!!
And.. Will it work with Netware 3.12? I sincerely hope so, because I'm having
problems with NCPFS under Linux and using samba seems to be the simplest way
round them. (Just in case anybody's interested, ncpfs 2.0.10 seems to eat up
memory gradually while Netware volumes are mounted; only releasing it if I
unmount all my volumes (I can then remount them with no trouble whatsoever).
Very strange, but most annoying!!)

Try LONG.NAM, which is appropriate for NW 3.11 (but look into upgrading
