    You will have to go to your network properties and select your LAN adapter. In the properties of the adapter, you will have installed services and protocols. One of the protocols already installed is TCP/IP. You will need to Add protocol called NWLink IPX/SPX.

    This protocol was used with the older versions of Novell NetWare. It is not the preferred transport becaused of the chatty nature of the protocol and it is not as efficient as TCP/IP.

    You can try the Novell Client for Windows Vista from the download section of Novell's web site or attempt the hack described at NT Compatible.com.
