Proxy Server Fails if IP is Installed but Not Bound (164029)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0
  • Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q164029

SYMPTOMS

When you use Chkwsp32.exe to test a connection between a WinSock client, and the Proxy Server using IPX, Chkwsp32 reports the following message:
Server is Down.

CAUSE

TCP/IP is installed on the client computer but is disabled on the internal network card. For example, if IP is installed for a Dial Up Adapter, but not bound to the network card.

WORKAROUND

Do one of the following:

  • Enable TCPIP on the client's network adapter along with IPX.
  • Edit the Mspclnt.ini file on the server and remove the Servers IPAddress section, then update the client computer in Control Panel, WSP Client.
  • Completely remove TCPIP from the client computer.
