Windows XP Professional uses Client Service for NetWare and the NWLink protocol to provide connectivity between Windows XP Professional and servers running Novell Directory Services (NDS) or NetWare bindery-based servers. NWLink is the Microsoft implementation of the IPX/SPX protocol.
To connect a computer running Windows XP Professional to a NetWare server or network, you need services and protocols that allow the two networking systems to communicate with each other. These services and protocols include:
To connect a computer running Windows XP Professional to a NetWare server or network, you need services and protocols that allow the two networking systems to communicate with each other. These services and protocols include:
- Client Service. Allows the Windows XP Professional client to access NetWare file, print and directory services. Both Novell and Microsoft provide a client service for this purpose. Each client service includes a redirector component that enables packet forwarding for the differing file and print service protocols.
- Network Protocol. Connects the Windows XP Professional client to a Novell NetWare network. If the NetWare network is running Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX) instead of TCP/IP, Windows XP Professional provides NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS-Compatible Transport Protocol (NWLink).
