Proxy Server Fails if IP is Installed but Not Bound

• Microsoft Proxy Server versions 1.0, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use Chkwsp32.exe to test a connection between a WinSock client, and the Proxy Server using IPX, Chkwsp32 reports the following message:

Server is Down.

CAUSE

TCP/IP is installed on the client computer but is disabled on the internal network card. For example, if IP is installed for a Dial Up Adapter, but not bound to the network card.

WORKAROUND

Do one of the following:

• Enable TCPIP on the client's network adapter along with IPX.



• Edit the Mspclnt.ini file on the server and remove the Servers IPAddress section, then update the client computer in Control Panel, WSP Client.



• Completely remove TCPIP from the client computer.
