1st of all your IPX Network must be configured well then you must have the ncp-client (ncpfs) running and you have to get known with the ncpmount command usage.
for example: ncpmount -S SERVERNAME -U Username -P Password /mnt/mountdir

We have novell netware 6 which is configured for TCP/IP and hence we login through IP. In this scenario how do I mount in my linux machine.

Well did you tried it anyway with:
ncpmount -S SERVERNAME -U Username -P Password /mnt/mountdir
?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I get 'Could not find mount point /mnt/projects: No such file or directory.

I was just searching through the net and require some clarification. Since I am using FC4 do I have to compile kernel for ipx. And also do I have to install NCPFS or is already comes with fc4?.

regards,

T. Saravana

yes the ncpfs filesystem is included but did you create a folder called /mnt/projects before you issued the mount command?

Thank you very much for your reply. I did not create folder called projects. Now I get following error.

NCPMOUNT: Server Not found (0x8847) when trying to find PLUTO

Yes if PLUTO is not in your solar system you won't find it by name but by it's IP Address. At this point the Linux System doesn't no Plutos IP address.
So put PLUTO in /etc/hosts including his Ip Address an try it again.
Or you'll always have to
ncpmount -S IPADDRESS -U Username -P Password /mnt/projects

I am sorry to bother.

I even included in hosts file and also tried with IP Address instead of Server name, I get the same error as follows:


NCPMOUNT: Server Not found (0x8847) when trying to find 192.168.0.192

Everybody yells that IPX is needed.
Like here
or
here
and regarding the failure they also claim about missing ipx.

If you want to use IPMOUNT, you need to include an additional command to use it with IP (IPX is the default). Take a look here:

http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/ncpmount.8.html

Happy hunting.

If Novell is configured for IP, then you need to use the "-A" switch to let ncpmount know you want to use IP instead of IPX to connect to your server. The command would then be:

ncpmount -S myserver -A myserver.com -U myuser -P mypassword -V /volumetomount/ /home/myprofile/mytargetfolder/
