RE: How and where attach to 'NwRdr' and 'LanmamRedirector'?

Please, note that Novell redirectors not always have the name NwRdr.
Most current Netware clients (except the one that comes with Windows NT/W2000)
have the name NetwareRedirector instead of NwRdr. Some Netware Intranet
clients have other different names too.

It works for NT 4.0. For Win2k you should use the conventional notification
mechanism as far as
LanmanRedirector is concerned(otherwise you will be attached twice).
I have not tested NwRdr though.
