Bug Description
Binary package hint: ncpfs
Ncpmount isn't able to mount Netware drives currently. This is a well known problem for the latest versions of the Package in Ubuntu, however the trick was to downgrade to an older version of ncpfs to make it work.
Nowadays it doesn't work using the latest package of ncpfs provided for Ubuntu, nor with the old ones. When I try to mount the Netware's Drives I got:
"No se encuentra el servidor (0x8847) al intentar buscar SERVERNAME" in Spanish, something like "Server not found ( 0x8847 ) trying to find SERVERNAME".
This bug is prohibitive, because there's no way to mount Netware's Drives with Ubuntu. I need to use this for my work. Also I tried Debian Packages, and I got the same error, in this case might be because aren't Ubuntu Packages, surely.
I also tried some patches and packages given here that didn't work either.

¿are you using IPX?
if so, verify that ipx has been successfully configured.
For example, with the command ifconfig you should see output like this
ifconfig | grep IPX
Dirección IPX/Ethernet 802.3:01018901:
The script /etc/init.d/ipx attempts auto-configuration and sometimes this can fail.
For manual configuration, edit the file /etc/ipx.conf and set
IPX_CONFIGURED=yes
and change the value of the options
IPX_DEVICE=eth0
IPX_FRAME=802.2 # either 802.2, 802.3 or EtherII
there are other options, but i did not change none of them.
It also happens that sometimes, when trying to configure ipx, the init script runs before the network is configured
To resolve this, copy the attached file to /etc/network/
