NetWare Link IPX/SPX Clients

You can configure Microsoft® SQL Server™ clients to communicate with computers running SQL Server by using the NW Link IPX/SPX Compatible Transport, the native protocol of Novell NetWare networks.

The SQL Server Client Network Utility provides two specification methods for creating an NW Link IPX/SPX network protocol configuration:

• By service name and port number
• By network address, port number, and network number

It is recommended that you consult your network administrator for the above information before setting up the configuration.
