THis sounds too good to be true. Are you saying that if I use just ipx/spx I don't
need to worry about subnets, ipaddr., etc?
I have a small net that uses APIPA for the lan with no ICS, only the XP Pro can get
out. But I am still having problems with the 98 1st ed because it so dated with facilities
to track what is where.
Does xo have ipx/spx?
