The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

When you run Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and are using two network cards, the IPX/SPX compatible protocol can be used on only one of the network cards. This is a limitation of the IPX protocol that has been carried over into Windows for Workgroups. All implementations of the IPX protocol have this same limitation.
