If yes, what version of the client are you using and to what servers do you connect (Netware version/service pack level or OES Linux version/service pack level)? To avoid issues you should always use the latest Novell Client, which is today "Novell Client 2 SP1 for Windows 7 (IR9a)". You should also be current on patches for your server OS. Please bear in mind, that all Netware before NW6.5 SP8 is not supported on the newer clients although it may work. Do you have any issues apart from the red X - that is can you successfully store or read the files even if you see the red X? Lastly, what software do you use to upload files through a website (or do you mean downloading from the internet to the server)? What e-mail program do you use, where you try to attach files to an e-mail? If both are web-applications, check your java settings as they are probably using java to open the file browser for selecting files. And check your internet and java and email security settings - maybe you are not allowed to upload files to the internet from your local servers. - If I were your Network administrator, you could be pretty sure, that only very priviledged users would be able to export internal data to the internet or send them freely around via e-mail. I am using Novell Client against OES2SP3 servers and do not see any of the issues you describe using Firefox 4, 5 and 6 nor using IE7, IE8 and IE9, nor using WinSCP for FTP and SFTP acccess. That applies to Win7 32 and 64 as well as Windows Server 2008 R2. But of course I am here the administrator and setting my own limits. Wolfgang

I just ignored the red X and it connects

apparently the technicians visited and said that they could probably find a patch for the server software, but that it might create other issues. so I just work-around/through it thanks for interest & suggestions

Same issue here, Latest Novell Client, Windows 7 Pro, IE9 when going to a web page that has an "upload file" button the novell network drives appear with a red x and are marked as disconnected when in fact they are not. It seems cosmetic.
