Does the code currently support this? The above quoted portion of my message is a request for clarification on this very issue. 8-). I *believe* routing was supported the last time the IPX code was discussed. Unfortunately, I can't remember for sure and alternet has been screwy for more than a week now, and it's near impossible for me to verify one way or the other without a reliable net connect to one of the places I archive crap. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< If I remember correctly, the netipx code will route IPX packets between two ethernet interfaces. I don't believe that the PPP driver was modified support routing of IPX packets. I believe that the interfaces are configured to route when more than a single IPX has been assigned with ifconfig. I also believe that the program IPXrouted requires a little work to be more sophisticated.
