NWLink IPX/SPX Format

Before setting up Adaptive Server network support, configure the NWLink IPX/SPX software according to the instructions for your Windows operating system. Specify the correct network number (usually 0) and frame type during the configuration.

The frame type is generally mandated by the frame type of a NetWare file server on the network, usually 802.3. If your network does not use a NetWare file server, make sure all client and server computers use the same frame type.

• Available NWLink IPX/SPX Connection Formats
  Some NWLink IPX/SPX connection formats are acceptable for the MASTER entry, some formats are unacceptable for accessing a local Adaptive Server, and only Format 1 and Format 3 are acceptable for QUERY entries.
• Selecting Valid Connection Formats
  The NWLink IPX/SPX connection formats you use depend on whether you want to access Adaptive Server on a local computer or on a remote, network computer.
