At the outset - forgive me if this isn't the right list for this problem
- it looked like the best choice.
I have a problem at one of our elementary schools where I need to route
both tcpip and ipx traffic from an ethernet network in a lab to the
buildings token ring network. The tcpip traffic will in turn get routed
to the internet (the resources are already in place to accomplish that)
and the ipx traffic is for the purpose of accessing an already existing
novell server.
I have built several token to ethernet tcpip routers but this is my
first attempt at ipx and I'm so far unable to get it to work.
I have a machine with the requisite network cards up and running with
RedHat 6.2. Tcpip routing is working well.
I first tried ipxripd. It was suggested to me off the linware list to
turn off automatic interface and route setup and to set that manually
which I have done (though I had tried the automatic method at the
beginning too). My problem with that configuration was that the windows
workstations on the eth network locked up whenever the M$ netware client
tried to access the network if ipxd was running. They didn't lock if
ipxd was killed but of course no routing could occur either.
After no solutions seemed forthcoming with ipxripd I installed mars-nwe
and attempted to use that package. Results were better in that I could
access the mars-nwe server with no problem and I could see the novell
server on the token network. Unfortunately I cannot access it. I get a
network not accessible error when I try.
I really need to solve this problem if I can. I'm wondering whether
frame type is an issue between the token and ethernet networks. I've
tried several combinations but 802.2 is the one that allows me to see
the novell servers.
Anyone have any ideas or resource suggestions? I really need to solve
this problem and I'd like to use a Linux solution.
Thanks
