Hi If you have a Netware 5.1 server, there shouldn't be any problems having the Netware talk through TCPIP. All you have to do is run inetcfg(load inetcfg) from the command line on the netware server. This will bring up a graphical interface were you can configure TCP/IP.
Only problem would be if not TCP/IP is installed. This is however a fairly easy installation, which is done through nwconfig(load nwconfig). Here you can select to install netware products and drivers, such as TCP/IP. AIX natively doesn't speak IPX. However, I'm uncertain whether or not there are any 3rd party products which can apply IPX functionality to AIX, such as FastConnect or any other product. Easiest solution would be to enable TCP/IP on Netware.

This client doesnt support tcp/ip only ipxspx. I did see an ipxsocket available in server options, but according to the costumer the server returnes with an "invalid ipx adress" when starting the client. Now this costumer had netware installed by another party 4 years ago and doesnt know anything about handling the OS itself, nor do I. So our only option is to make the tsm-server available to the ipx protocol. As far as I know aix (4.3.2) doesnt understand ipx. My question: how do I make aix understand ipx? or how do i make netware understand tcpip? thnx a lot, Mi©helle
