Not quite clear on what you're saying. You have problems when both IPX and TCP/IP are installed. What are you doing to fix it?

- Removing TCP/IP entirely, or
- Leaving both protocols present, but setting IPX to be the default protocol in the Advanced tab of its Properties?

If the former, you have a problem, because you probably need TCP/IP for other non-Fox stuff. If the latter, that's your fix, you don't really need to do anything else.
