IPX support for Vista?

External Since: May 10, 2008 Posts: 1

I'm trying to get a wireless print server working on a Vista 32
machine. I've been told by the print server support team I must have
IPX protocol installed on Vista. I've searched, but can't find
anything useful - and it seems IPX may not be supported under Vista.

Can someone confirm if IPX is available as a download for Vista, and
if so, where can I download from?

thanks for your help,

Howard

Howard,

Novell provides a Vista client, whether or not this is actual IPX/SPX you will
have to confirm. Microsoft doesn't support IPX/SPX for Vista.
