You can use the MacIPX gateway if your networks have the following
characteristics:
You have IPX and AppleTalk networks that you want to connect and these
networks are part of a LAN running NetWare 3.11 or later, or the NetWare
MultiProtocol Router
run on one of these networks.
Your AppleTalk networks support MacIPX clients.
One or more of the networks use only the AppleTalk protocol family to
connect Macintosh clients to the network.
From a user perspective, the MacIPX gateway is required only for Macintosh
users who select the AppleTalk icon in the MacIPX Control Panel. If all
Macintosh users select either the Ethernet or Token Ring icon, and if IPX
traffic is permitted on those networks, then you do not need a MacIPX
gateway.
MacIPX applications automatically select an IPX gateway only when the
gateway is in the zone that contains the Macintosh client running MacIPX. If
this is not the case, use the MacIPX Control Panel to configure MacIPX to
look for IPX gateways in specific zones.
You should locate a MacIPX gateway so that the amount of configuration
required by MacIPX is minimized. For example, if you have an AppleTalk
network for dial-in users that provides service for AppleTalk Remote Access
(ARA), you should ensure that a MacIPX gateway serves the AppleTalk zone
that includes the ARA network so that Macintosh clients using ARA do not
require MacIPX configuration.
