Novell doesn't make a 64-bit client (as of May 2006). Does anyone have any thoughts how to map a drive to a Netware server without using their client? The 32-bit client is very incompatible with XP64: IPX doesn't install, services don't start, NWGINA doesn't display during login, etc.

all netware shares are also SMB shares if I remember right. You should be able to map them like anything else.

Depends on the version of NetWare and also whether or not you have the universal client access (or whatever they call it) crap setup. Plain NetWare shares use NCP, not SMB, so you definitely need a special client if you don't have the SMB server stuff installed and setup.
