TROUBLESHOOTING IPX CONFIGURATIONS

No Routes are Visible to the Remote Router
1 Check the PPP link is active, using the command:
SHOW PPP
The display should look like that shown above. The state of the
IPX control protocol (IPXCP) should be "OPENED". If not,
then the fault lies with the connection between the two
routers, or the PPP configuration at either end of the link.
2 Check that the IPX circuits are correctly configured on each
router by repeating steps 1 through 3 above, or by typing:
SHOW IPX CIRCUIT
Check that there are two circuits, and for each circuit check
that the circuit is enabled, uses the correct interface and

Local Workstations Can Not Access Remote Servers
This problem can be caused by a number of different events.
The following give some of the most common:
1 Check that when the workstation is moved to the same
LAN as the file server, it is able to access the server. If not, the
fault lies with the configuration of the workstation or file
server. Check with your Novell network administrator.
2 Care must be taken with the workstation NET.CFG file.
Always specify the encapsulation (frame) as different LAN card
drivers use different default encapsulations.
3 Does the file server appear in the IPX service table of the
Remote Office router? If the server does not appear in the
table, its presence can not be advertised to the local LAN.
