I installed Ras on a nt4.0 server with SP4. It worked fine until I tried to add the IPX protocol so I could communicate with a Novell 3.12 server. When I reboot the machine now I get an Event log error stating: The RIP for NWLNKIPX failed to start due to the following error: The parameter is incorrect" It doesn't say what parameter just "the parameter". Being as RAS now depends on IPX the RAS doesn't start either. Any help would be appreciated.

After you added the IPX protocol did you specify the correct frame type and you should also re-apply your service pack after the protocol install.

DC1 is correct. You MUST reapply the Service Pack. Q195841 recommends that you reapply before you reboot. In my experience, this is always a good idea when changing network protocol configurations on NT4.

It's been awhile, there is a dialog to enable/disable specific protocols for dial-in and dial-out. Open Properties in the RAS Services item in the Network applet.
