How to Install NetWare for Client Services
While Open Enterprise Server replaced NetWare after version 6.5, many businesses still run some version of Novell NetWare. Novell NetWare is a network operating system which provides a central access point for network resources in a local or wide area network. Client Services for NetWare is bound to the network interface card (NIC) and supports TCP/IP and IPX/SPX networking protocols. IPX/SPX is an older protocol, which is rarely used but IPX/SPX may be necessary to connect to older versions of Novell NetWare.
