    Cool compatibilty with Novell server

    at work the creative dept. is running mac's, but the rest of the co. is on pc's-hence a novell server. only my machine continusouly drops the network connection, which disables my connection to the network printers, the image libraries, etc.
    since mine is the only one i don't think it's a network problem. something with my appletalk configuration maybe. i don't know. where so I look? HELP! thanks.

    Does this happen when that Mac goes to sleep? If so, head to Energy Saver and disable the sleep option. If it goes to sleep, it puts the Mac into a low-power off-state that will disconnect it from a network (same thing happens with PCs).

    no. it happens sometimes for no reason and sometimes when i'm copying some files to my desktop for editing or overwriting some old server files with new edits.

    You should talk to your Netware administrator. It sounds like your Netware box might need to be patched with the latest NFAP fixes.
