Environment

Novell Client version 4.9

Situation

Unable to map network drive via UNC path or"Servername/Volname:\"
When mapping a network drive via the UNC path, or via SERVERNAME/VOLNAME:\PATH, the workstation tries to resolve the server name in the user context only, tries to resolve the server name without a context, does an SLP request to find the server, and then never connects to it.

Resolution

This is fixed in NWSLP.SYS dated 5 Aug 2003, and NWFS.SYS dated 8 Sept 2003 or newer. These files can be found at https://support.novell.com/filefinder
