I received my new Dell PC, it came with the 64 bit Win XP OS. Has anyone tried to install or have found a way to connect to a novell network? I haven't had much luck installing the client and loging into the network.

Thanks

Why 64bit? Nothing is supported on that.

Some one else decided that for me, so now I get the task of geting this thing setup.

Your best option at this point in time is using a dual boot system with both 64 and 32 bit Windows installed. 64 bit support is fairly limited ATM, as stated above.

Installing 32 bit windows into a vmware environment will allow axs to your novell network.

I think your best bet is just to install a 32-bit os. ;) 64 Bits have been around for over a year and there's still almost nothing that really takes advantage of it yet.

I can think of CAD programs, graphics and animation, scientific simulations... things that can actually use the ability to handle 64 bits in 1 instruction.

But Office-64? Dunno, does MS Office 2K7 do 64-bit yet?
