Why do you use the Windows 95 client?
Get the Client32 client which is fully NDS aware so that you can take
advantage of one of NetWares biggest assets - its NDS.
The Client32 is fully compatible with Windows95 and uses less memory
than the Microsoft one as well.
I think the latest Client32 is v2.2. If you do grab this client make
sure you grab WUNC95.EXE also, which is the Novell uninstaller for
Client32 if you change your mind or have troubles.
