SUMMARY
In certain situations, when you uninstall Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) or Client Services for NetWare (CSNW), NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol is also uninstalled. This occurs only if NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol was initially installed on the Windows 2000-based computer as a result of installing either GSNW or CSNW.



MORE INFORMATION
Installing either GSNW or CSNW on a Windows 2000-based computer automatically installs NWLink if that component is not already present. If NWLink is already installed on a Windows 2000-based computer before installing either GSNW or CSNW, the subsequent removal of GSNW or CSNW does not remove NWLink.

Additional query words: GSNW CSNW IPS SPX uninstall
