Situation
After upgrading to Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows (IR2), the list of Name Services in the Novell Properties pages no longer includes "NCP".


Resolution
Working as designed.
Cause
Name resolution has always first been attempted using NCP, and then by
other configured services. Beginning with Novell Client 2 SP3 for Windows (IR2), NCP was removed as a configurable parameter.
NCP is now a mandatory name service and name resolution will be first attempted
using NCP and then, if the name is not resolved, other configured
name services such as SLP, DHCP etc. will be tried.
