uninstall client services for netware

[mrmomaz1234]

I hope this is an acceptable place for this post. I didn't see anything better. Plz advise if I'm out of order. anyway...

I have winxp/pro, win 98se and win98 and network the 3 as a home network, sharing printers and files only. Each PC has a direct link to the Router for WWW. I recently added a print server requiring Netware which I've decided to get rid. How do I get rid of Client services for Netware so I can do Fast Switching in WINXP/PRO?

I've read several posts on this subject, but none of the answers help me. When I go to network connections, the left pane is blank. When I go to my network places I see 3 links to the 98 computer, but cannot find a properties to click on. One post said to click on view network connections, then right click on the lan icon, then properties ... but I had no lan icon. When I go to workgroup VIEW NETWORK CONNECTIONS returns blank, WIEW WORKGROUP COMPUTERS shows my winxp, and MY NETWORK PLACES returns the 98 machine and properties on each of these shows the name only.

The 98se is a dual boot with winxp/pro, so i'm not concerned that it did not show up in the list as winxp/pro is the active OS.

The server setup disk installed a PS-ADVisor program which i uninstalled, but have made no other changes. any other suggestions? Thanks

You have to be logged in as a computer Adminsitrator to see the Local Network option..

Also, it doesn't make sense that you don't have a NetWare server yet you added a print server that required netware. Plus I've never seen a Print server that can only do NetWare (Which essentially means it uses the IPX protocol). It just doesn't add up. Did you add the device and then couldn't make it work, so now you've decided to remove it? And if you have no NetWare server, honestly the Client service for Netware never would have done anything for you anyway. It would probably be a good idea to research something better so you don't waste the time and effort to install something you can't use and don't know how to use anyway.

Thanks, Marvin, for telling me what I should not have done. Since you asked, a friend and I installed it b/c I thought it would suit my needs, and yes it required it as well as IPX. Now, do you have any answers to my question, which is how to get rid of it so I can have Fast switching and the usual Winxp sign=on? (And I am doing this in admin mode.)

Not being able to access the components in the network control panel is more of a Windows issue than anything else.. I'm afraid I dont' have a solution for you since I avoid Windows as much as possible.

Maybe you could check in the Windows XP forums.. and ask how to enable it so you can access the properties of the LAN.

It might also be possible that you are getting a profile from somewhere that is restricting your access to certain things.
