SYMPTOMS
When you use Chkwsp32.exe to test a connection between a WinSock client, and the Proxy Server using IPX, Chkwsp32 reports the following message:

Server is Down.



CAUSE
TCP/IP is installed on the client computer but is disabled on the internal network card. For example, if IP is installed for a Dial Up Adapter, but not bound to the network card.



WORKAROUND
Do one of the following:


 * Enable TCPIP on the client's network adapter along with IPX.
 * Edit the Mspclnt.ini file on the server and remove the Servers IPAddress section, then update the client computer in Control Panel, WSP Client.
 * Completely remove TCPIP from the client computer.
