Summary:
In Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1, NetWare Connectivity can be
configured to use either IEEE 802.3 IPX packets (the default) or
Ethernet II IPX packets. Configuring IPX.COM to use either IEEE 802.3
or Ethernet II packets requires ECONFIG.EXE, which can be found on the
NetWare Diagnostics disk. If this file is missing, contact Novell.
To configure IPX.COM for IEEE 802.3, change to the directory
containing IPX.COM (C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG by default), and type:
ECONFIG IPX.COM SHELL:N
To configure IPX.COM for Ethernet II, change to the directory
containing IPX.COM (C:\LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG by default), and type:
ECONFIG IPX.COM SHELL:E
To display the current IPX.COM configuration, type:
ECONFIG IPX.COM
Note: The difference between IEEE 802.3 packets and Ethernet II
packets is shown below.
