Hi all,

We want to connect a PC that is on a network with a OR to a NOvell 4.1
Server that is on a remote network connected to another OR.
So I want to enabled IP and IPX .

See the draw:

---------------------------------------------------
OR 192.168.1.1 PC NOvell client
| IPX 000F2
|
|PIX 000F3
|
OR 194.224.0.20 SERVER novell 4.1
IPX 000F2
----------------------------------------------------------

I have in both ORs the same configuration:
IP/IP enabled
Default routing ON
........
I have defined the user table and the location table.
All work properly with IP but not with IPX.

I have IPx enabled in both OR and DEfault routing set ON.
Also I have configurated the user and location with IPX= 000f3 ( the
interface) and IP and IPX.
Questions:

1- when I start my PC novell client the OR does not call. Why?
What client novell do I need , is win95 right? Any special configuration,
IPx network...?
( it work properly with ip)
2- How could I see if the user and location have IPX enabled? By telnet I
can not see it ???

3- The iPX network must be diferent on each network ?

4- Do you know if anyone made this system ( connect a Novell Client PC
throuh OR to a NOvell server 4.1)?

I think the IPX connection could be very slow, but I need to try it.

I hope you could help me.
Thank you very much for all your help and time.

Regards,
Fernando Martin
