(ASCEND) Acsend routers, WIN 95 and Novell Client 32 Bit



Brief Description:
We are using a MAX 1800 (Local Office) and a Pipeline 50 (Remote
Office) to route IPX.  There is a Netware(4.11) server on the local
side(MAX1800) and only clients on the remote side.  All the clients are
running windows 95 with Client for Microsoft Networks and Novell
Netware Client 32 installed as network clients.  Novell client is the
Primary Network Logon.  A network drive(F) is mapped in the login script
to enable Groupwise locate the post office.

Problem:
Everytime a client tries to save any document or simply opens the
Explorer or My Computer, the router makes a connection.  It seems
like win 95 needs to verify the networked drives and their connections.
This generates an IPX packet.  Since there is a connection open
everytime explorer is open, even though the user did not want a
networked drive,  phone bill is always unacceptable.  Ho can one disable
this "Network Browsing" effect?  The perfect situation would be to only
make a connection when there is an actual request from a networked
drive.  

Also, the users sometimes lockup in their applications for unkown
reasons.  They don't lockup when the router conection is removed.  We
have concluded that these problems are a combination of WIN95, Novell
32bit Client, Microsoft Client and the Ascend IPX Routing.  

Please let us know how to fix this browsing problem and also inform us
of any other IS professionals that are experiencing this situation.

Thankyou.
