Maybe this is some oddball NW 3.11 issue.  I have almost no experience 
running Windows 95 clients on NW 3.11, as all but one server accessed by 
Windows 95 clients are on either NW 3.12 or NW 4.11 now.  The exception is, 
believe it or not, our own test server, which is a 386DX-20 that has been 
around forever.  I don't recall ever testing the Novell client against this 
server, either.
I did have to implement a huge number of required fixes and patches on the NW 
3.11 server to support Windows 95 clients of any type, all of which are 
basically the same as you would need to support OS/2 clients on NW 3.11 -- 
fast file open handling, long file name support, and so forth.
 SP> Like I said ... never seen it before!
Neither have I.
