If you load your client software from another PC, or use the same PC when traveling, the

Examples of IPX routing connections
This section shows sample WAN connections using IPX routing. If the MAX has not yet been
configured for IPX routing, see "Enabling IPX routing in the MAX" on page 12-5.
Configuring a dial-in client connection
In this example, a NetWare client dials into a corporate IPX network by using PPP dial-in
