This protocol was used with the older versions of Novell NetWare. It is not the preferred transport becaused of the chatty nature of the protocol and it is not as efficient as TCP/IP.

you dont have NWLink IPX/SPX protocol on windows vista i want to know how to get the protocol

You can try the Novell Client for Windows Vista from the download section of Novell's web site or attempt the hack described at NT Compatible.com.
