When you start your computer, if Novell is installed, a window will pop up that asks you for your user name and password. There is also a little check box that says ''Workstation Only''. If the ''Workstation Only'' box is checked, you will not log onto Novell, and you will only be asked for your personal computer's password. This is the username and password you had on your computer before Novell was ever around.

If you are using a wireless card, check ''Workstation Only'' when you start your computer. To begin using wireless internet access, simply open up any internet browser, say Yes to the popup message about the security Certificate, and log in to the grey Cisco page with your unix (email/blackboard) name and password. Once you do this you can log into Novell if you want to be on the network. Do this by right clicking on the red N in your Quick Launch toolbar in the lower right corner of your screen and selecting "NetWare Login...".
 
==Troubleshooting==
 
'''Problem''': Netware client cannot find the Williams tree or any netware server when it is freshly installed even if a previous installation worked fine and you provide it all the details.
 
'''Solution''': In the netware client properties (right click on big red N) click on the "Service Location" tab (second tab from the front on the left). In the Scope List field add these two addresses: "nds1.williams.edu" and "nds2.williams.edu" (make sure you press add after typing it into the box). Do the same thing for the directory agent list. Done.
