There is NO support for IPX/SPX in the current release of the Shiva Lanrover
,nor is there likely to be IMHO.
I have told our sales people that if they want to sell the VPN solution to
people who want to access Netware resources then there are two options /
workarounds :
1. (Preferred) upgrade to Netware 5.0 and don't run IPX.
2. (Ugly - but it works ) - the VPN client talks IP to a NT box inside the
trusted network. The NT box then in turn runs Gateway services for Netware -
this is included for free in the OS. Basically, the NT server by talking
IPX to the Netware box inside the trusted network is acting as a proxy for
the client.
With this I think the NT server needs to be logged into the Netware server
with administrator rights - I'm not a NT guru so I may be wrong on this.
This will allow remote VPN clients to map drives and print to the the
netware printer using IP and using the NT box as a proxy.
