Question:

Ncpfs is written to work with Novell 3.x servers.  How do you get it to work 
with Novell 4.11 servers? 

Answer:

If you have installed Mars uninstall Mars and ncpfs, reboot, then reinstall 
ncpfs. You should now be able to run an slist.  look at the
network number and change your IPX network number to match it and reboot.
The IPX network number is the first half of the address before the :.  When
your machine restarts you should be able to mount Novell volumes from all the
machines in that network node.  The 
disadvantage is that you will not be able to connect to Novell machines 
outside your network node.
