TCP/IP runs on Ethernet_II frame type and AppleTalk runs on Ethenet_SNAP frame type. In actual fact, you can run your IPX on any of the frametypes. The original IPX runs on Ethernet_802.3 frametype, but the new standard for Novell is now Ethernet_802.2 frame type. : Also, I was told that NetWare 4.x does not work properly with 802.3. Is : there any truth to this? This is not totally true... it is more a problem with the NDS communication on 802.3 frametype. You may experience some corruption in the NDS using 802.3 frame type, and it is best to run on 802.2. : --- : +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ : | <*> Jim Dawson - jdawson@inlink.com <*> | : +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- =============================================================================== Khoo Seng Wee, Gerald National University of Singapore Computer Centre Tel: (65) 772-6426 10, Kent Ridge Crescent Fax: (65) 778-0198 Singapore 0511 Internet: cceksw@nus.sg WWW Home Page --- http://toyland.nus.sg/Gerald/Gerald.html FTP Server --- ftp://heaven.nus.sg/pub/novell ===============================================================================
