Sucessfully creating a VPN tunnel of some sort does really not enable IPX traffic automagically. At least you have to establish ethernet bridging on both ends of the tunnel. Not that big a deal if you have two Linux boxes on both ends of the tunnel and run say OpenVPN. But I was under the impression that this is not the scenario here.

Right you are ;) The other endpoint is supposed to be WinXP box. I was wondering if there's some magical way to establish an IPX tunnel inside a TCP based VPN (using openvpn client at one endpoint). Why does everything besides random clicking have to be so hard in this damn OS.. Thanks for your awnsers. Thread closed. -- Regards Karol Krzak -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Why does everything besides random clicking have to be so hard in this damn OS.. It's been some time ago, so I can't remember the details - but can't you bind IPX over TCP/IP in WinXP? I know for sure that you can bind NetBIOS to TCP/IP. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
