IPX RETRY COUNT number
Sets the number of times the client workstation resends a packet. On networks that lose many packets, this retry count might need to be increased.
The IPX protocol does not actually resend a packet. It uses this count to recommend the number of retries to the NetWare DOS Requester software and the SPX protocol.
Increasing this number causes a longer delay for some network functions, such as establishing a NetBIOS session or registering a NetBIOS name.
Syntax | ipx retry count number |
