IPX Headers Not Returned to WinSock Program (155675)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q155675

SYMPTOMS

If the Windows Sockets setsockopt() API is called with the IPX_RECVHDR option set, the call will return a status of "success," but IPX headers will not be received when the recv() API is called.

CAUSE

There is a problem in the Windows Sockets support using the Microsoft IPX/SPX-compatible protocol, in that IPX headers are not returned with the WinSock data, even though it appears that the IPX_RECVHDR option is successfully set when calling setsockopt().

RESOLUTION

STATUS

This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows.
