To configure NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol

Open Network Connections

Right-click the local area connection (LAN) for which you want to configure NWLink, and then click Properties.

On the General tab, click NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol, and then click Properties.

On the General tab, enter a value for Internal Network Number, or leave this parameter at the default value of 00000000.

Do one of the following:

•	In Frame type, click Auto detect, and then click OK.
•	In Frame type, click a frame type. In Network number, type a network number, and then click OK.

Click OK to save your settings.

Important

•	The IPX/SPX protocol is not available on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition.

Note

•	To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.
•	Additional parameters for NWLink are stored in the registry. In most situations, you should not have to modify the default values. Use this procedure only if you want to bind NWLink to a different network adapter or to manually change the frame type
•	By default, NWLink automatically detects the frame type used by the network adapter to which it is bound. If NWLink detects no network traffic or if multiple frame types are detected in addition to the 802.2 frame type, NWLink sets the frame type to 802.2. You can determine which external network number, frame type, and internal network number your routers are using by typing ipxroute config at a command prompt.
