NetWare 6 server is the first server in a pure NetWare 4.x tree
IPX information and frame type is specified correctly on the NetWare 6 server
During the GUI portion of the DS install, the tree shows up when the browse button is clicked, but no containers below the tree are visible.
cause
This is a known issue with IPX and is referenced in the NetWare 6 Readme.
fix
As stated in the NetWare 6 Readme www.novell.com/documentation/lg/nw6p/index.html:
Installing into a NetWare 4 Tree
When installing a NetWare 6 server into a pure NetWare 4 tree, clicking the Browse button on the eDirectory installation screen to search for a context will not return a list of available containers. You must type the context where you want to install the NetWare 6 server into the tree.
If you really want to browse the tree, make sure a NetWare 5.x server holds a copy of the partitions you want to browse.
For additional information on NetWare 6, please see the following solution. TID #10064501 - NetWare 6 Readme Addendum
