- Support for named pipes over direct host IPX
- Performance enhancements to direct host IPX
- A fix to prevent browsers from synchronizing and announcing all at once
- Changes to allow browsing of Windows NT workgroups beyond a single subnet
- Changes to allow Windows NT Server to screen out older Windows for Workgroups clients trying to connect through direct host IPX
