I am trying to set up a Linux box as a dial-in ppp server for our local
network for Win 95/98 clients.

I have got basic TCP/IP working ok.

I also want the drives on our Novell server visible to the dial-in PC's with
NetWare client loaded.

If I fire off pppd with the ipx option and select IPX/SPX in Server Types of
Windows Dial-Up I get the following in the debug output:

As you can see the TCP connects OK but IPX fails with 'Received bad
configure-ack'.

Unfortunately I know little about IPX, so I'm a bit stuck as to what the
problem might be.

Anyone successfully done what I'm trying to do?

Richard.
