Doug,
        We were experiencing some of the same problems with IntraNetware...
they went away when we upgraded to the latest version of TCPIP for
Netware... it's either the TCPN03 or TCPN04 package on the Novell FTP
site and is more current than the version of TCPIP that comes with
IntraNetware.
