Ok, I was a little mistaken I suppose by the statement that ipx has to be be bridged. It doesn't. It can route it's ass off.
I think the discrepancy came when referring to sending ipx over an ip network (ala the Internet). You are absolutely correct in that (unless you use nwip) you have to encapuslate it. But you can route ipx natively without having to encap it at all. Sorry about that. :) Sam (Novell still kicks M$ rear end any day. :) On Sun, 13 Jul 2003, Shawn Mitchell wrote: > I'm talking about the core protocol... not the "extentions" that some > have undertaken upon themself's to do.
