Yes...
do you use the IP address or the name of the server in the original 
ncpmount line?
AFAIK ncp does not use DNS so if you use servername than put an entry in 
the /etc/hosts file.

Did you compile ncpmount yourself after downloading the latest source?
What options did you use?
Did you compile it with IPX support only?
DO you need IPX or can you use IP?

Can you do a ping 10.10.100.17?
i.o.w. the server is there?
No firewall blocking IP/X traffic between client/server?
