Hi,

We are running AREV 3.12/NLM 5.0 on NW 5.1 sp4 using a few XP clients. We have been able to set the preferred protocol to IPX when using win98 in the past. XP has it's preferred protocol set to IPX and de-selected IP in the client settings and the registry hacked to assure that the client chooses IPX for NW client connections. XP seems to ignore both settings, infact no matter what we do, The client randomly chooses IP for connections thus thwarting AREV sessions. Novell has a TID stating that they are working on the problem. Has anybody encountered same? How about a workaround?



TIA

<QUOTE>I happened to notice in an un-related article the mention of an IPX - only option during a custom install of the NW client. That seemed to do the trick. Only time will tell. 



Thanks
