Forgive me if this is an improper venue for requesting assistance,
and forgive me, again, for asking about IPX when I am a total
Novell dweeb. I've installed an IRX firewall router this weekend
and have run into a bit of a problem with the the IPX routing.
What I've done is to install the IRX between an existent Cisco,
routing frame-relay connections to our service provider and two
private frame-relay DLCI's, and our internal network. In so
doing, I exchanged the IP and IPX address from the ethernet port
on the Cisco and put them on the IRX ethernet port internal to our
private network. The ethernet interface on the Cisco and the
second ethernet port on the IRX were changed to create a new
buffer subnet, the IP subnet addresses agree and the IPX network
numbers have been set to the same unique number (not the same
as the network number set on the IRX interface internal to our
net).
Ip routing works great, couldn't be happier. But the Novell
servers on my internal network can't see the servers at the
other private networks, yet they can see us, and even attach
to our servers. Both the IRX and the Cisco can see all the
servers in all the locations. There is some simple configuration
error I've made, and I haven't a clue where to begin - I've
been hacking at this for two days.
If anyone has some insight into my problem, I would be tremendously
grateful for any help.
Thank you,
