I have a subordinate tech in another location that reloaded several machines and found that after loading the NIC card drivers and the Novell client, he couldn't get network connectivity because the NIC card wouldn't bind to the client.

Details:
-several NICs tried: 3Com 905B's and 905C's
-several machines running Win95x and one running Win98se
-Novell client32 v. 3.12

There are like 7 machines affected.

Any ideas?

use UNC32 to unistall any Novell client
try to use the Native Windows IPX/Spx compatible protocol.

Install the latest driver from 3Com.

try to check for anything in common for those machines (other than the NIC)

Install Dial-up Adapter and see if it binds to the Client..

Look at the registry (HKLM\SYSTEM\CCS\Service\CLASS under the Network devices installed.
you might need to remove all the network including a registry clean and reinstall.
