Using an AppleTalk interface for MacIPX
If your Mac OS computer is connected to an Apple LocalTalk network,
you must specify an AppleTalk interface to use MacIPX networking.
When you use AppleTalk, you must also select an IPX gateway.
Important Novell supplies MACIPXGW.LAN, a LAN driver (IPX
gateway) that can be run on Novell NetWare v3.11 or later servers,
which lets you use AppleTalk to share information with other computers
on the IPX network. Contact your Novell dealer or use an online service
to get this driver. To install the LAN driver on your Novell server, see
your Novell system administrator or the documentation that came with
the driver.
To select an AppleTalk network interface:
1. Open the MacIPX control panel.
The MacIPX control panel is installed in the Control Panels folder
inside the System Folder.
2. If necessary, click the AppleTalk icon to select it and then click the
close box.
Your computer then sends IPX packets encapsulated in AppleTalk,
which are delivered on the LocalTalk network to an IPX gateway.
The gateway decapsulates these packets and routes them over an IPX
network. See the following steps for information on selecting a
gateway.
To have MacIPX select an available IPX gateway:
1. In the MacIPX control panel, click the selected AppleTalk icon.
You see the AppleTalk Access Configuration dialog box.
2. In the AppleTalk Access Configuration dialog box, choose an
AppleTalk zone that has an IPX gateway.
