SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to run the NetWare utility RCONSOLE from Windows NT using the
NCC (NetWare Compatible Client for Windows NT) software, the following error
message may appear:

  IPX Initialize Failure

WORKAROUND
==========

Check for the following entries in the AUTOEXEC.NT file:

  lh %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16
  lh %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx

If the entries are present, check to see if the following associated files
actually exist:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16.exe
  %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx.exe
  %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx.dll

If these associated files do not exist, remove the NCC software and reinstall it
to correctly copy these files to their appropriate locations.
