Well, I don't do IPX (except in the lab),
but my first two guesses would be:
ipx ppp-client loopback0
or
ipx routing
was missing...it's a bit difficult t/s without the broken config.
saving my third guess for later in the day.

Subject: PPP Configs (Overlooking the Obvious) [7:29]
In the hopes that this might help some of the beginners (and some of the
not-so-beginners) I thought I'd share an interesting troubleshooting problem
I just ran into that is actually a little embarrassing but educational.
(Yes, I should be in bed already. Perhaps my consistent lack of sleep
causes me to have constant brain lock lately.)
I started out with a back-to-back config between two 2501s from aux to aux.
I initially was running IP, then I added CHAP authentication, then I added
IPX. For some reason, I could not get IPX working correctly no matter what
I tried...
"show ipx traffic" showed that there was traffic but it wasn't behaving
correctly. On Router A I had a static SAP that I wanted to advertise to
Router B but it wasn't showing up on B. I also had a loopback address with
a network number that I wanted to advertise to B. Again, it was not showing
up.
To make a longer story shorter, it might be helpful to reiterate the order
in which I did this configuration.
First, I configured IP and brought up the connection. It came up and I
tested connectivity using pings. Simple, no problem.
Next, I added the CHAP authentication. Again, no problem once I got the
config correct on both routers.
Then I added the IPX config. Hey, I just thought of something. Instead of
coming out and telling you the answer to this problem, I should let others
guess. I'll subtitle this "Late Monday Night Follies."
If you've been doing this sort of thing for a while, please don't just come
out and tell everyone the answer just yet. Let the people new to PPP figure
this one out. I've given enough information here but there are a couple of
other clues to be given that I haven't mentioned.
Good luck!
John the Very Sleepy
