Hopefully you had better results than I did; through at least version 2.2, Novell's Client32 didn't cleanly uninstall itself; short of a reinstall, the only thing that worked reliablywas to run netWare's Uninstall, then delete all the adapters that had attached to it, and readd them and their protocols and clients. Please tell me it was easier than that...
