    Hi,
    I work for company that uses windows almost exclusively, and Novell
    Netware to do the network stuff. About a year ago I started using Linux,
    and currently I am using a dual boot system on my desktop PC. I get a
    lot more done on Linux, but there are some things that hold me back.
    Firstly printing:
    I can't seem to get the network printer configured. We have a NDPS
    printing setup. I seems simple in Yast, but it needs a print server IP
    address, and I have no idea how get that (our IT department doesn't even
    know, go figure). Any ideas on how I can figure out the IP for the
    Novell print server that I am using from windows. It is not shown
    anywhere in the printer configuration.

    Second Internet:
    My company uses a proxy server for internet browsing, and that is the
    only way out. You have to be authorised to use the internet though, and
    this is done when you log into the Novell Network. Since I don't log on
    to the Novell Network in Linux, I am not authorised, and the proxy kicks
    me out. Any ideas about this?

    The third was mail. We are using Groupwise, which only works with
    Groupwise clients. Luckily Groupwise Linux client just went into Beta
    testing, and I'm trying it out now. Couldn't get it to work yet though.

    Thanks
    Marius
