SYMPTOMS
After you install the Multi-Protocol Router (MPR) in Windows NT Server, Microsoft Network client computers using the IPX/SPX compatible transport protocol are unable to communicate with the Windows NT Server.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if auto frame type detection is defined for the IPX/SPX compatible transport protocol on all network adapters in the Windows NT Server. In addition, if no network numbers are assigned to network devices on the server segment, a network number of zero is assigned to all network adapters on the Windows NT Server. Therefore, all packets are not routed properly.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, define a manual frame type for the IPX/SPX compatible transport protocol and specify a unique network number for each segment in Windows NT Server.
