You're installing the Novell Client on a Windows workstation. The workstation must be able to communicate with an OES NetWare server configured to use the IP protocol and an older NetWare 4.2 server configured to use the IPX protocol. Can this be done?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Yes, the Novell Client can use both protocols at the same time. The Novell Client for Windows supports concurrent binding to both the IP and IPX protocol stacks within a single installation. This means the workstation can communicate with an OES NetWare server over IP and with a legacy NetWare 4.2 server over IPX at the same time, without any additional client instances or special configuration beyond enabling both protocols during client setup.

Answer

B. No, the current version of the Novell Client doesn't support the IPX protocol. This is incorrect - the Novell Client fully supports IPX in addition to IP; IPX support is retained specifically for backward compatibility with older NetWare servers.

Answer

Answer

D. No, you must install two instances of the Novell Client on the workstation; one configured to use This is incorrect - installing two separate instances of the Novell Client is neither possible nor necessary, as one installation handles both protocols simultaneously.
