- Two ideas: Some cards don't like to IPTUNNEL unless the tunnel is set up
- from both sides. Ie the servers are in each other's peer list.
- (LOAD IPTUNNEL SHOW=YES is useful in this regard)
- 2. You are experiencing an IPX routing problem. We found we had to make
- network numbers unique across the campus, but identical on a subnet.
- These are the network numbers on the BIND command. The INTERNAL NET
- numbers should always be unique. This took us quite a while to diagnose.
