I need to join an arcnet network up to my Novell Intranetware 4.11a
network via an ethernet IP link. I have been trying to use ipxtunnel
(also tried ipxtund) to achieve this, but with little success so far. A
DOS client on the arcnet end can occasionally attach to a file server
and can do a directory of the F:\LOGIN directory, but it cannot login to
the server. Mostly, however the client cannot even attach.

My feeling is that I have got the configuration close to right but that
there is a timeout problem somewhere.

Can anyone please offer some suggestions? Anyone actually get ipxtunnel
running in a real Novell environment?

My configuration is: Two linux boxes, ethernet linked, kernel 2.0.30.
The box at the arcnet end has 3 ethernet cards and an arcnet (this
nastiness is because ipxtunnel will not talk directly to the arcnet card
- eth0 is the IP link, eth1 delivers IPX packets from the tunnel to eth2
which routes IPX to arc0 (whew!). DOS client is latest V2.5 Novell
client.
