>>>Is that a job offer :-)
Tim<<<<

I had 2 MS guys working in my factory packing boxes.  These MS guys are so
desperate to find anywork at all.  one guy making $6.50/hr packing boxes,
the other making $13/hr operating a machine.   once in a while I let them
do some IT work, but I wouldn't let there near my netware servers :) 
supposedly the MS cert is worth toilet paper these days.

so yeah, maybe that is a job offer :)  you said scotland??  I could even
get you a green card !!

I would check the NDPS broker on the server.  If nothing seems to be wrong, 
unload it and then load it again. You should have "(Enable)" on all 3 of 
the choices if all is well.

Next, if this doesn't work. Check for an update. The later broker.nlm is 
capable of getting what ip-address to bind to on the command line. Very 
usefull if your server is multihomed.

Kind Regards

I had the same problem.New lab, made an image and then tried to
add printers. Opened an incident, and started rebuilding a new
image at the same time. The rebuild got something different than
the first time, and Novell sent me some files to udpate. Look at the
following files, check versions, etc.

dpawin32.dll
dplrname.dll
dplwin32.dll
dppwin32.dll
dpswin32.dll
dplrname.exe

Good luck,
Steve
