Hi, Yup, a tunnel is the only way to get IPX data over the internet. I suggest that you investigate the following setting
--------------------------------------------------------- UDP over IP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SSL Tunnel ================================================== IXP datastream ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- I know, ascii art ain't my strongpoint so ill explain now Running an IPX stream trough a SSL tunnel ( the === line and the --- next to it) This gives you encryption. You don't want all to monitor your IPX communication. The outer lines represent a UDP link to send the SSL data. You don't need TCP, if a packet is lost, IPX will fail and request the stuff it's missed again. I'm no IPX expert, but i do know my IP stuff, and i can tell you that you can't do it without a tunnel of some kind. If you figure it out, let me know! It's got my attention........
