I did a minimal install on a server here that is just going to be an FTP

then quite the install so far so good.
Unfortunately when I go into dselect to install proftp etc and the

As previous posters have indicated you definately cannot pass IPX over
the Internet without some kind of tunnel. Internet routers only
understand IP so when they see an IPX frame they would just drop it.
What you have to do is encapsulate IPX in IP packets and the the IP
packets can traverse the
