On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition or Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, a 32-bit Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Windows Sockets
(Winsock) application may not work. Instead, the IPX Winsock application generates a WSAEINVAL error.

The communication between a 32-bit application and the
64-bit IPX kernel mode driver is handled through the Transport Driver Interface
(TDI) component. However, TDI cannot convert the request to 64-bit, because TDI
does not recognize the request as protocol-specific.

To work around this problem, recompile the application to
the 64-bit mode.
