If your administrator knows nothing but windows - try logging in from a
Windows workstation to verify whether or not your Netware account has been
disabled or locked out.
You don't mention and maybe don't know whether or not they physically
changed servers or went through a in-the-box upgrade?
BTW - Novell is Suse is Novell. If you haven't looked into OES - Open
Enterprise Server - where they're going with Netware and Linux - you
should.... they're going to be coming out with some pretty cool stuff in
the next few months.

As SuSE is now part of Novell I hope to find here someone who knows how to handle a Netware server from a SuSE-Linux post (don't tell to address a Novell list. If it exist they surely only know how to click-click from a Windoze station).
Thus, a few month ago with a Netware-4.* server I just typed:
ipx_configure -auto_primary=on -auto_interface=on
Then:
slist => I have the list of the available Netware file servers.
Then:
ncpmount -S NETWARE_SERVER -u MY_LOGGING -b /mnt/novell
password:xxxxxx
And the file server was mounted on /mnt/novell
Then the "great computer administrator" changed to Netware-5.1 and I stil can see the available Netware file servers with slist but if I type:
ncpmount -S NETWARE_SERVER -u MY_LOGGING -b /mnt/novell
I have now:
Logging into NETWARE_SERVER as MY_LOGGING Passward:xxxxx ncpmount: Unknown server (0x89FC) in login Login denied.
I can still log myself in in the Windows part of my PC thus no problem of User name or Password.
If anybody knows a way to check what's going wrong or a way to connect to Netware-5.1 or if there is a new Novell interface better adapted.
Our Administrator has only had Windows in the milk of his mother and the only thing he can say is "with Windows it works, just clickety-clickety".
My SuSE version is 8.2.
