SYMPTOMS

When you use the IPX/SPX-compatible protocol and File And Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks, other computers can no longer connect to your computer.

CAUSE

When the IPX protocol is dynamically loaded and unloaded, VSERVER cannot properly handle the system messages to start and stop. VSERVER is the component that provides sharing for Microsoft Networks.

RESOLUTION

To workaround this problem, restart your computer after dynamically loading or unloading the IPX protocol.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
