Configuration Using IPX Compatibility or Novell NetWare/IP Adapter on Windows 2000

If either IPX Compatibility or Novell NetWare/IP Adapter are installed, the Local Area Connection Properties page should not be accessed or used for configuration. Doing so will remove the bindings between IPX and all Clients, rendering the machine unusable. If this happens, Novell Client will try to restore the bindings to IPX after a reboot. If, the bindings are still invalid once you reboot the workstation, you will need to remove the components and then reinstall them.

NOTE:  This issue will be fixed by Microsoft in Support Pack 1 for Windows 2000.

  1. Run SETUPNW.EXE.
