SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to run the NetWare utility RCONSOLE from Windows NT using the NCC (NetWare Compatible Client for Windows NT) software, the following error message may appear:

IPX Initialize Failure



WORKAROUND
Check for the following entries in the AUTOEXEC.NT file:

  lh %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16 lh %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx

If the entries are present, check to see if the following associated files actually exist:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx.dll

If these associated files do not exist, remove the NCC software and reinstall it to correctly copy these files to their appropriate locations.
