That is your problem...
For NDS support you should use VLM's or use the new Client32 for DOS/WIN.
With NETX you never have NDS support... Netx is just a shell, not a DOS
requester...
Switch to the new client32 (DOS/WIN version) would be the best solution...

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All,
I am admin of a 4.1 network with 7 users.
One of the users asked me whether it was possible to print to a specific
printer, thus disregard settings in a particular wp*.set file.
AT the moment al wp*.set files are set to print to one of two queues.
One of the computers should be set to always print to a specific printer,
regardless of the user that uses the computer. Ok, change the autoexec of the
particular machine by adding a capture statement AND change the container
script to in such a way that whenver node number such an such comes up the
wp*.set in effect will be a specific one, one whith a printer set to lpt1.
In asking the question, I seem to have answered it as well, anyone willing to
share his thoughts on the subject?

assistant: I generally make them myself from a "regular" (straight-through) patch cord.
Look at the RJ-45 connector on the cable like so:
                                   ^^^^^
 87654321     and note which color wire corresponds to the number.
|__    __|
   |__|
Cut the cable in the center, and peel away the outer insulation sheath about
1.5" each part.
Now, reconnect the two pieces of wire as follows:
1 connects to 3
2 connects to 6
3 connects to 1
6 connects to 2
other wires are not used, and can be cut off, wrapped back, whatever.
This will give you a cable that can be used between two network cards, as you
want to do, or to connect two RJ-45 hubs together. It shouldn't take you more
than 20-30 minutes to make.
Cheers!

assistant: I am having some problems running Netware on my systems at work and I
noticed this echo so I thought I'd give it a shot...
My problem is this:  I run 2 computers hooked to a server (pier to pier,
i guess it's called) and each computer runs on 2.something Netware and
DOS 5.0.  I recently decided to upgrade DOS to 6.22 since I had the
disks laying around but after I installed it and rebooted, I would get
the error message "Not running on v4.2 - v5.0 Dos" or something to that
effect.  I narrowed it down the the netx.com file that would not load
since I installed 6.22.  I then decided that I would simply add netx.com
to the Dos Setver tables and eliminate the problem, but when I tried it
it would not add that file.  What I'm asking is, am I going to have to
upgrade Netware if I want to run Dos 6.22 or is there another way to get
it to go.  I'd appreciate any suggestions here or e-mail at
cshrades@execpc.com.  Thanks a lot for your time.

Unfortunately, I tried that, and the command:

will not execute from STARTUP.NCF  it has to load before the SYS: volume
mounts, but unfortunately it adds another problem.  For some reason, the BIND
command lines do not want to execute properly (I'll sort that out, I am sure,
but it is simply annoying. :-/ )
Has anyone had much to do with IntraNetware?  I am about to load up the first
cinfiguration, and I noticed NetWire had a patch out already.  Any ugliness I
should be aware of?  I have seen a plethora of driver updates for it on
NetWire as well... any info would be much appreciated.

Without the memory registered, it only sees 16 Meg, as expected.. after
registering, it sees all 96 Meg.  It would have been nice, however for the
documentation from Adaptec to include this information in the docs for the
RAID adapter.. :-/  So... Now we all know that it must see the memory before
