SPX Port Driver and Netware Services Requestor

hcl-bot · April 17, 2005, 1:10pm

I’m installing a Domino Server on a notebook, just for portable demonstration purposes, and I keep getting these error messages:

The SPX Port Driver failed to initialize. Not all of the required Netware services have been installed or configured. Please install.

and

SPX: The Netware Services Requestor has not been installed or configured. Please install.

Does anybody know what is causing this? There are two network cards in the machine, only one of which is in use, but other than that I can think of no difference between this machine and every other I’ve installed Domino on, and I’ve never seen this before.

Advice appreciated!

You need to remove the “SPX” entry from the enabled ports line of the notes.ini (“Ports=…”) and add it to the “Disabled Ports=…” line of the notes.ini. Also disable any port with SPX in your server document.
