| could anyone tell me a netwrok adapter that works with novell netware 5.1. i have tried several SMC cards, the last one beeing the 1255 TX and some D-Links but all only support up to Netware 5.0. I have been trying fast ethernet adapters and would like to stay with them if possible, because of cost.
any help would be much appreciated | |

| I've used Linksys, Intel and 3COM NICs with NetWare 5.1 in the past. All of them were detected correctly without the need for 3rd party drivers if I recall correctly. | |

Ditto!!
I've never had a problem with any Novell OS when I use Intel or 3COM cards.
You can save yourself lots of headaches if you use them. | |

| Ditto, again, using the Intel and 3Com will be your best bet, however I have used an inexpensive Netgear FA311 NIC in a Netware 4.11 machine (when in a pinch). I think the Netgear cost about $15 at Office Depot, and I had to use it in a pinch on an old, old server. It installed and worked fine for months before the server was replaced. | |

For workstations and low end servers Linksys is fine, but compared to the Intel and 3COM cards, they can be a real resource hogs. | |

Me: I just found this GREAT site and it looks really good! ... What's the password though?
WindServe: What do you mean?
Me: Well...It's asking for my Adult Pass identification #....Don't you know what I'm talking about???
WindServe: Sir, we do not provide you with Adult Pass passwords.
Me: What a rip-off! I'm switching to AOL...I'm sure they provide it for free! | |
