The company that I work for has two offices, one running a NT-based domain, the other a Novell enviroment. I am wondering what the easiest way would be to allow users on the NT domain to access files and folders stored on the Novell servers. I believe they are running a 6.x version. Basically I just need access to the documents that are stored at that location. The consultant group that installed the Novell network (before I was with the company) is suggesting DirXML, but as I have little/no experience with Novell (not since the DOS days) I don't really know which way to look.
Any help would be apprechiated.

Yes, the servers are located at two distant offices, connected to each other via a secure VPN link. I had read something about GSNW as well, but wasn't completely sure if it would let me do what I want. Basically, I want to map a drive to point to a Novell share located across the VPN tunnel.

You don't have to install NWClient being that after Novell 4.x uses TCP/IP. You should install Client Services for netware though, that will work.

if you have installed your gsnw thing then you would do a script called net use to map you novell source... net use \\servername\servershare...the More I know, that is more and More I dont know.
