Hi folks,

I have an NLM which uses CLib and XPlat to connect to a remote server, then performs some file system tasks. I noticed
that even if I'm calling NWCCOpenConnByName() with NWCC_TRAN_TYPE_UDP, the traffic will be NCP over TCP anyway, as shown
by Ethereal. Am I missing some important steps here, or NWCC_TRAN_TYPE_UDP really gets ignored by the API?

Actually I don't really care which protocol is used, I just want to know whether it makes sense to offer UDP as a
protocol in the configuration options, or TCP and IPX is enough.

Is the NW server configured to accept UDP connections?

There should be a set command SET NCP OVER UDP = ON or
at least there was one a few years back.

NCP over UDP is set to ON, on both sides, by default.

The only other thing that I can think off is well documented here

It would be worth checking that the NCP group has not tied the
protocol to the setting.
