Novell Documentation: NetWare Server Consolidation Utility - Binding IPX When Consolidating from NetWare 4

Binding IPX When Consolidating from NetWare 4

Before running a consolidation project from a NetWare 4 server to an Nterprise Branch Office appliance, you must first bind IPX^TM on the Nterprise Branch Office appliance and on the workstation running the Server Consolidation Utility. Otherwise the consolidation will fail.

At the Nterprise Branch Office appliance server console, enter inetcfg.

Select Boards, then press Enter.

Press Insert.

Select the appropriate network interface, then press Enter.

Specify a board name and slot number, then press Esc.

Select Yes to save changes, then press Enter.

To return to the main Internetworking Configuration screen, press Esc.

Select Protocols, then press Enter.

Select IPX, then press Enter.

Enable and configure IPX, then exit the INETCFG utility.

HINT: If you prefer, IPX can also be enabled on the server by adding the appropriate Load and Bind commands to the server's autoexec.ncf file.

Verifying IPX is Bound On the Client

Right-click on the red N in the system tray on your workstation.

Select Novell Client Properties.

Select the Protocol Preferences tab.

If the Protocol window displays both IP and IPX, the client has IPX bound.

If the Protocol window displays only IP, then IPX needs to be bound on the workstation.

Binding IPX on the Client

Insert the Novell Clients Software CD (March 2003).

Select the client version you want, then click Next.

Select the appropriate language, then click Next.

Select Custom, then click Next.

Click the radio button next to IP and IPX.

Click Next > Next > Finish.
