Accessing Your LAN Folders Through Net Drive (Windows only)

Notice: This method of access is currently not recommended or supported. Use at your own risk.

You can download Novell NetDrive 4.1 here.  (5.36 M)  After downloading it, please follow the prompts and install the software.  After restarting, there should be an icon for NetDrive in your system tray.  Double click on it.  (In Windows XP, it may be hid, so you may need to first expand the system tray.)  This should open the connection settings dialog.  (Screen shot, 47.2k)  Click on the "New Site" button.  A new window will appear.  Enter any name you want to call the new connection in the top box.  (I chose "LindenLAN".)  Enter "https://gwia.pen.wisc.edu/oneNet/NetStorage/" in the second box.  Then click "Finish".  You should now have a new connection in the left-hand icon area.  Its settings will be reflected on the right.  You will want to change a couple of these.  First, uncheck the "Anonymous/Public Logon" checkbox and enter your network username.  By default, it will save your password.  If you prefer not to have this, uncheck the box to the right of the username and password entry boxes that says "Save Password".  In the middle of the right hand side, there should be a dropdown menu called "Drive:".  Set this to any free drive letter you like.  Here's a screen shot of an example configuration.  (54.9 k) 

Finally, to connect to the server, click on the "Connect" button in the upper right hand corner.  You will be prompted to enter your password unless you entered it in the connection settings dialog.  You will then be shown a window of your newly mapped drive.  You can access this just like any other drive on your computer. 

There are a couple ways to disconnect the drive from your computer. 
1. Right click on the NetDrive icon in your system tray, select the drive and then select "Disconnect". 
2. Right click on the drive in an explorer window, select "Disconnect" or "NetDrive" and then "Disconnect".
