I had this exact same problem. We fixed it by re-installing Novell's Client32.
Veritas tech support feels that the Novell client does not install all of
the necessary files upon the first install and a reinstall (right on top
of the first install, WITHOUT an un-install) will add the necessary files.

I was skeptical, but it worked! You can't argue with success. Hopefully
that will fix your problem as well.

Remember also that the BE Client requires IPX/SPX to function. So make sure
when you install the Novell client that you select both IP and IPX, and that
you have both bound to the server. (I believe BE 9 will support an IP-only
environment).

Good luck!

Are you using the single server version of BE? If so, this doesn't support
W2K clients - even tho you are only using the 1 server. Could try publishing
a drive from a 9x computer which maps to a W2k machine. You don't get any of
the fancy W2k bits backed up, but at least it is backing something up.

windows client doesn´t find any netware server to connect to? Make sure the
server on which backupexec is running is your primary connection
