Try this fix. Set the specific frame type (for example 802.3) and also the Source Routing to 16 in the IPX/SPX compatable protocol properties, and similarly set the IPX 32bit protocol for Novell Netware properties to only use that frame type.
That has worked many times for me in the past instead of relying on the Auto frame type setting.
