Clipper and Novell 6.5 1

[fbizzell]

Does anyone know of any problems running clipper dos programs under Netware 6.5? Someone said that Netware 6 does not support dos clients.

I am using a Clipper application on a Novell Netware 6 server and all works fine. I have DOS, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP clients.

I do not know if Netware 6.5 has changed, but I would doubt it.

Thanks. I felt that I was being given some erroneous information. They something about it going all web-based etc.

Hi, fbizell

Well, NW6 does support web based clients, but not exclusively.

As long as your server is configured with IPX support (not just IP) and has the bindery context enabled then Dos-type clients should be able to connect.

JockMullin, you're exactly right. We've used IPX in the past, however since upgrading to Novell 6.5, I've switched strictly to IP and using Windows Client for connectivity. From my understanding, both IPX and IP can coexist on a server.
