First, if your net card is not in the package, your chances of making Client32 work are dismal.  None of the cards I tried that were not included worked, even though drivers were present on the diskettes.

Second, I login to a NetWare 4.11 server.

Third, my proxy/firewall/IP machine is a Linux box.  Kernel 2.2.19, Slackware, bunches of Yes answers in compiling the kernel and a lot more stuff loading during boot.
