SYMPTOMS
When you are using the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol in Windows 95, you may
not be able to connect to other computers on the network.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the frame type setting for the IPX/SPX-
compatible protocol on your computer differs from the frame type being
used on the server.
RESOLUTION
Verify that the frame type setting on your computer matches the frame type
setting on the server. To do so, follow these steps:
- Use the right mouse button to click the Network Neighborhood icon on
the desktop, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
- On the Configuration tab, click IPX/SPX-Compatible Protocol, and then
click Properties.
- Click the Advanced tab.
- In the Property box, click Frame Type.
- Note the setting in the Value box. If this setting does not match the
setting in use on the server, click the appropriate frame type in
the Value box, and then click OK.
- Click OK.
- If you are prompted to restart your computer, do so.
