ode = y''[x] + y[x]*(1 + y'[x])^(3/2)
nsol = NDSolve[{ode == 0, y[0] == 0, y[1] == 0}, y, {x, 0, 1}]
Plot[y[x] /. nsol[[1]], {x, 0, 1}]
Table[y[x] /. nsol[[1]], {x, 0, 1, 0.1}]

Works fine on my system.

$Version

"6.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (February 7, 2008)"

See

I suspect that you are using a version prior 6.0 and that NDSolve has
been improved meanwhile.
