Configuring the IPX Protocol

By default, the Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol is configured on the NAS system to automatically detect frame types. To use the IPX protocol, you must
change your NAS system's IPX properties to manually detect frame types.
To configure IPX to manually detect frame types, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
2. Click Maintenance, and then click Remote Desktop.
3. Log in to the NAS system as an administrator.
4. Right-click Network Places on the NAS system's desktop, and then click Properties.
5. In the Network Connections window, right-click the network adapter used by the NAS system and select Properties.
6. In the Local Area Connection Properties window, click NWLink/IPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol, and click Properties.
7. In the NWLink/IPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol window, select Manual Frame type detection.
8. Click Add.
9. In the Manual Frame Detection window, select a frame type, enter a network number for the IPX network, and then click OK.
10. Click OK.
11. Click OK to close the Local Area Connection window.
12. Close the Network and Dial-Up Connections window.
The IPX protocol is now configured on the NAS system to manually detect frame types.
Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services
Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services (MSDSS) allows you to synchronize a wide variety of data stored in the Active Directory service with Novell
Directory Service (NDS) and NetWare 3.x binderies.
MSDSS is a highly flexible service that helps Novell users to perform the following tasks:
lAdopt Windows 2000 Server and the Active Directory service
lReduce directory management through two-way synchronization
lMigrate NDS and bindery information to Windows 2000 Server
MSDSS supports two-way synchronization with NDS and one-way synchronization with NetWare 3.x binderies to provide a complete directory interoperability
solution. MSDSS also supports password synchronization and provides a directory migration service.
MSDSS allows NetWare users to deploy Active Directory without having to replace existing directories or bear the cost of managing two separate directories.
As a result, users have the flexibility to:
lConsolidate directory management when multiple directories are required
lManage accounts from either directory
lUse directory-enabled applications, devices, and services based on the Windows 2000 Active Directory service
MSDSS is easy to use and makes synchronization and Active Directory setup easy through its management interface. It is fully featured to allow users a choice
of management, synchronization, and migration options.
