Ah.. so the NT DOS VM actually does thunk 16bit -Microsoft- DOS-IPX calls to the 32bit IPX stack and not 16bit -Novel- DOS-IPX calls. Interesting...

However, I just find that this actually does work a bit surprising. I thought that no 16bit DOS network services will work under the NT DOS VM. Including Microsoft's old 16bit IPX and even DOS LAN Manager's stuff. If you don't mind, please e-mail me (at vslabs_at_onwe.co.za) the AUTOEXEC and CONFIG files you're using for the NT DOS VM. I'm very interested to see how you managed to get this working.

Billy
