Chapter 3. Configuring Router Software 53

Test IPX Routing

One way to test IPX routing is to check for access to servers on the remote LAN. Under Windows, use the

NetWare Connections

selection provided with NetWare User Tools. Under DOS, use the command

pconsole

type

on the login drive (usually F:). Select the printer server and verify that the server you have defined is

listed. When you attempt to access the server, the router will connect to the remote router using the DSL line.

If you cannot access the remote server:

• Check that the local Ethernet LAN IPX network number is correct.

• Verify that the WAN link network number is the same as the remote WAN link network number.

• Check cable connections and pinouts.

• Verify that the IPX routes and IPX SAPs you have specified are correct.

• List the contents of the routing and services tables using the

ipxroutes

and

ipxsaps

commands, respectively.

• Make sure that the security authentication method and password that you configured match the remote router.
