I did screen prints of all of the tabs in the network setting. The wireless nic had a different netbios setting. Changing it worked. Here is the solution.
If you go into network properties, tcp/ip then advanced tcpip then wins, then NetBios settings. The wireless nic was set incorrectly to "default" when it should have been "enable Netbios over TCP/IP".
>I have two nics in my laptop. 1 wired. 1 wireless. Each has its own network settings (IP, Novell, Microsoft, etc...). The problem is that something isn't set correctly in my network configuration on my wireless nic. If I try to log into Novell, I get "the tree or server cannot be found. Choose a different tree or server". If I switch to the wired nic, it works perfectly.
