- Two crucial and relevant bits missing here at the server. Namely,
- "LOAD IPTUNNEL" and "BIND IPX TO IPTUNNEL NET=3" (pick your own unique IPX
- net number for the tunnel).

- Blitz this line, I wish we never put it in the example. This would
- connect you to a group of NetWare servers on your local net segment
- if they were running the IPTUNNEL lan driver.

-
- You're missing the same two lines that the NetWare TCP/IP Supervisor's Guide
- is missing... In the client's NET.CFG, add this section:
-
- Protocol IPX
- bind IPTUNNEL
-
- With more recent IPXODI and LSL versions, you may need:
-
- Protocol IPX
- bind 2
- (Where "2" is the second board registered with the LSL).
-
- This "Protocol IPX:" binding business is explained in the LWP for DOS
- Release Supplement after it was discovered to be omitted from the server-
- side documentation.
-
- Also, make sure you load the IPTUNNEL LAN driver on the server and bind IPX
- to it :-).
-
- Merry Christmas,
