HP UX Internet and Networking Software manual IPX Retry Count number, IPX Sockets number

	NET.CFG Options Reference
	Protocol IPX Option
Example	To reduce the maximum packet size for an Ethernet ODI
	LAN driver from the default, you could place the
	following lines in your NET.CFG file:
	protocol ipx
	ipx packet size limit 1200

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
	Replace number with the number of times the
	client workstation resends a packet.
Default	20
Example	To set the number of times the client workstation resends a
	packet to 30, you would place the following lines in your
	NET.CFG file:
	protocol ipx
	ipx retry count 30

IPX SOCKETS number

Specifies the maximum number of sockets that IPX can have open at the client workstation.
