How to Remove Client Service for Netware

NetWare services are provided by the Novell Client software for computers running Windows XP and 2000 operating systems. This service provides network support to access NetWare directories, transfer files and print documents. However, NetWare does have a few Windows incompatibilities, such as disabling the ability to turn on the Windows Welcome Screen and employ the User Fast Switching option. You will need to remove the NetWare client service from your computer's network option to uninstall the program.

Instructions

1. Click on the "Start" button and choose "Control Panel" from the Start Menu.

2. Double-click "Network Connections" from the Control Panel.

3. Right-click on the "Local Area Connection" and choose "Properties" from the menu.

4. Navigate to the "General" tab of the "Local Area Connection Properties" window.

5. Click once on "Client Service for Netware" from the list located in the box in the middle of the window. This will highlight the service.

6. Click the "Uninstall" button located under the box in the middle of the window.

7. Allow your computer to uninstall the NetWare client service.

8. Reboot your computer when prompted to complete the uninstallation.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have more than one Local Area Connection on your "Network Connections" screen, you will need to repeat these steps for each one.
