Hmmm...  A little more details might be helpful.  What version of Netware?
What exactly is the machine that you are running it on?  I have run Novell
under a score of no-name machines and haven't found any significant problems,
I find more problems trying to run RPRINTER than I do NETWARE.

Sounds to me like your dealer is giving you the run-around.  I would guess
that you bought the server yourself, which is "not Netware certified" and
he just happens to sell the official "Novell certified" servers...
