IP and IPX Install Option

These systems have the TCP/IP and IPX stacks loaded. Systems installed with both IP and IPX are configured to establish NCP connections either over the TCP/IP stack or over the IPX stack. Figure 7 shows the relationship between the protocol stacks when installing a system with IP and IPX.

NetWare servers installed with IP and IPX have the following capabilities:

NetWare clients installed with IP and IPX have the following capabilities:

Having a NetWare client installed with IP and IPX does not guarantee that the client will be able to establish an NCP connection with a server installed with IP without the use of a Migration Agent. The type of address obtained by the client when trying to connect to a server determines the protocol stack utilized to establish the connection. Applications that obtain address information from the bindery will not be able to connect with servers installed with IP if there is no Migration Agent installed, and if the client is installed with IP and IPX. Notice that this problem does not exist if the client and the server are installed with IP alone.
