My company is utilizing a Novell 4.11 server.  Our workstations are
comprised of WIN 3.11, WIN 95, WIN 98, WIN NT and DOS.  All the workstations
are fine, except the machines running NT 4.0.  They all have service pack 3
installed.

What is happening is that when the system logs you in (w/Novell Intranet
Client), the network drives are map rooting (?).  When you use windows
explorer it will say "such and such" directory on R:\.  But when you go out
to the dos prompt, it shows that you are in the root, not the such and such
directory.  If you list out the directory in dos, you get a listing for the
such and such directory.  So consequently many of batch files are unable to
run.

You can go out using the map commands, and remap each drive individually.
but when you reboot, or even just exit from the dos window and come back in,
it restores the original settings.

Would anybody know how to overcome this.  I find hard to believe that this
is just a problem that has to be lived with.
