How to download and install IPX on windows 7. Official answer is to ask Novell as it is a Novell protocol. Novell's official answer is that it is a Microsoft. IPX protocol in windows 7 ultimate x64 bit I use windows 7 ultimate x64 bit and i have a problem in palying most of games in network with another pc using the same operating system that i use. And the problem was that windows 7 dosen't have IPX protocol.
I have a Windows XP 32 bit system, which I used to connect to my Novell Netware 3.1x server, which is a database server.
Now I am planning to migrate from Windows XP to Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit), but the issue is that Windows Server 2008 R2 doesn't support the IPXSPX protocol.
Is there any workaround to make IPX protocol work in Windows Server 2008 R2?

The workaround would be to configure the Netware server for TCP/IP and drop IPX/SPX. It's 2013! This will probably involve an upgrade, but that Netware 3.1 server is twenty years old now.
MDMarraMDMarraSure. From this link:
Being 32 bit drivers, I'm not sure what problems you'll run into on a natively 64 bit OS, but this is a workaround, so I guess issues are not unexpected.
(Having posted that, you really should do like Mark suggested and let obsolete technology rest in peace.)
