In other words, IP and IPX are both layer-3 protocols.  They really
don't interact with each other.

It is possible to encapsulate IPX in IP if you need to transport IPX
traffic between LANs.

If you have a LAN, then just run IPX over Ethernet (or token ring, or
whatever layer 2 LAN you have).

You can run IP and IPX over the same ethernet cabling.

IPX over TCP/IP?

2002-11-22 Thread Patrick Hsieh
Hello list,

Is it possible to build a pptpd on Linux and make some Windows client to
use pptp to connect to the pptpd server and connect to each other via
IPX protocol?

Some LAN games use IPX protocol, how can I make it possible to achieve
IPX over TCP/IP?
