XP and Client 4.83SP2 - error 8884

Replacing 95/98 clients with XP Pro SP1. There is a Netware 5 server running IP and a Netware 4.12 server running IPX. Installed NW Client 4.83 SP2 and can log onto Netware 5 server using NDS OK but cannot access Netware 4.12 server at all. The logon script comes up with error 8884 "The specified server is unknown" when trying to map a drive. I believe the user accounts are OK. Now here is the funny thing. I got it working once by changing a client setting to off "Limit SAP broadcasts" but cannot repeat it. I know it is possible since it worked once.

Do you have 1 tree with 2 server ? If you have 1 tree, you must have IPX also on NW5 ( for sync NDS ). Also on each workstation ( that need to access to NW4.11 ) you must have IPX. Authencation, map, capture on NW411 need IPX.

Fixed.
The network people had filtered out broadcasts and didn't tell me. Once the filter was removed, it work OK.
