Using IPX/SPX Support Driver with Microsoft Network Client 3.0

ID: Q137850

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS version 3.0
Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS allows you to use Novell's IPXODI-based IPX/SPX protocol and MLID to access Microsoft network resources.

To access both Microsoft network resources and Novell servers from other MS- DOS-based clients, you must run multiple protocols and Novell's ODINSUP driver (which allows you to use the Novell MLID). This configuration uses more conventional memory than the MS-DOS Network Client 3.0 and the IPX/SPX Support Driver.

To Configure Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS to use the IPX/SPX Support Driver and Novell's MLID and IPX/SPX so it can communicate on a Microsoft NetBIOS based network:
  1. Install Novell's IPXODI networking support and verify it is functioning properly.


  2. Run Setup from the Microsoft Network Client for MS-DOS 3.0 disks or from the \CLIENTS\MSCLIENT\NETSETUP directory on the Windows NT Server CD-ROM disc.


  3. Setup will automatically select the IPX/SPX Support Driver as both the Network Card driver and the default protocol. Accept the defaults.
