SUMMARY
=======

The Microsoft Exchange Dynamic RAS connector can be configured to use IPX but
there are a few details that must be configured for it to work properly.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If there are no Novell Netware servers on the LAN segment, it will be necessary
to specify the Internal Network number for the IPX protocol in the Protocol
section of Control Panel. The valid range is 0x1 thru 0xffffffff. In addition,
in the RAS service, select the Network configuration and configure IPX to
Allocate Network Numbers and specify the network number. Ensure that the
internal network and network numbers are unique within your network. All other
settings may be left at the default. Also, add the NetBeui protocol to provide
netbios name resolution. This configuration was tested with RAS and the RAS
function of Routing and Remote Access Update for Windows NT 4.0.
