Question : Netware IPX to IP
|
|
We have a Netware 4.11 server running IPX and IP. I can ping the ip address of the netware server, but when I attempt to login to it I get the message tree cannot be found. It appears to us the problem is that while IP works across our vlans, IPX is not. Our configuration is server running IPX and IP plugged into vlan 0. A workstation logged into to vlan 0 had no problem, but logged into vlan 1 can ping the server but cannot log in. Does anyone have any ideas to assist us

What client are you using? Do you have both IP and IPX bound to the client? See PsiCop's comment regarding IP vs IPX in an obsolete NetWare environment...
The ability to do an IP PING has nothing to do with the ability to login to a NetWare 4.x or earlier system.
802.1Q-based VLAN interconnections are bridged, not routed, since 802.1Q VLANs are MAC address based, and as such should be protocol-agnostic - so if you can do IP PING you should be able to connect via IPX (unless you have the Spanning-Tree with PortFast situation Mojo mentioned.)
Have you tried an IPX PING? How is your IPX protocol configured on the PC? Don't let it autodetect frame type and network number - you should specify the frame type and network number IPX uses on the server. Don't change the internal IPX network number on the PC - leave it all zeros.
