Some clarifications. I only have 1 citrix server, this was the one =
running 1.8 that I upgraded to XP.
After upgrading to XP, my terminals still had access to the published =
apps previously made. However, when trying to get my terminals to see =
new apps they were unable to find any citrix server. If I hardcoded the =
computer name or IP address on the terminal itself instead of using TCP =
broadcasts, the terminal would find the new publishes apps. Problem is, =
my mindset is still 1.8, and I know that if you hardcoded that, you will =
not be able to use load balancing because they clients would =
automatically go right to the server that was hardcoded. Has this =
changed in XP?

Importance: Low
Is the "test box" a member of an existing "Farm". When you upgrade to
XP the published applications on that system are automatically upgraded
and should be accessible immediately.
However, if this system is not the only system within the farm then you
will run into several documented issues. Most of these pertain to
"load-balanced" apps across a mixed farm. By default your XP
installation would be in "native mode".
The other problem you could encounter is bringing an XP Farm "online"
when you have other 1.8 servers on the same SUBNET.
This causes the native mode farm to NOT respond to client broadcasts.
In this case you would need to HARD CODE the client.

Ok... I'm sure it has to do with my ignorance of XP, but I upgraded my =

test box which was running Metaframe 1.8 on 2000 to XPa. After doing =

so, my terminals can no longer browse to find the published applications

now =3D report that no Citrix servers are found on the network.
I'm assuming XP operates differently for this. Is there no more ICA =3D
browsing under XP, if so, do I need to specify on each client the citrix

server name or ip address? By doing this, will it still load balance =

somehow? Thanks.
