- TITLE :Problems Using IPX and NWLINK with the IBM 8029 LAN Bridge
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When you use the IBM 8209 LAN Bridge Attachment Module for Ethernet Version
- 2 and IEEE 802.3 LANs (Ethernet attachment module) which allows devices on
- an Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 LAN segment to communicate with devices on an IBM
- Token Ring Network segment through an IBM 8209 LAN Bridge, you may have
- problems passing IPX or NWLINK traffic. (An example would be the inability
- to make a connection when you are using Windows NT as a server for an SQL
- Server application.)
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- This problem can be caused by not having the correct filters set on the IBM
- 8209, or it can be caused by a hardware issue with the 8209. Earlier IBM
- 8209 Bridge Ethernet Attachment Modules had problems with IPX traffic. To
- determine if the IBM 8209 Ethernet Module is the earlier hardware, run the
- 8209 utility that came with the bridge; the utility can also be downloaded
- from DIR 32 of the IBM bulletin board at (919) 517-0007. If this utility
- does not show an option for IPX enabled, then the IBM 8209 with Ethernet
- Module is an earlier version (because the engineering change was made in
- recent years, it is still possible to run across a "new" bridge that is
- actually the earlier hardware).
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To resolve this problem, make sure you are not using filters to filter IPX
- traffic across the bridge, and/or call IBM at (800) 426-7378 to update your
- IBM 8209 Bridge Ethernet Attachment Module.
