That means that any machine involved in an ftp conversation MUST BE RUNNING TCP/IP. Novell networks run on IPX; a roughly equivalent protocol, but NOT the same. (TCP/IP and IPX are at about the same "level" on the OSI layer model) If you want ftp (or telnet or PING or http) to work on a Novell (IPX) machine, you're going to have to set it up to run dual protocols or set up some kind of gateway that can translate to an equivalent IPX service (not that I know of any). NT servers like TCP/IP, and nowadays it's pretty-much the default protocol for NT services. There's also the possibility that you could run an FTP server on a machine with both TCP/IP and IPX drivers loaded, and have that ftp server also map drives/directories onto a Novell server, which could then be accessed by ftp clients talking to that ftp server. (You *might* be able to do this with the ftp on an NT server, though I don't know for sure). -Chris Bartram
