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.
3. Click Always Auto-Select an IPX Gateway from the Selected Zone.
4. Click OK to close the dialog box.
When the computer starts up and detects that it’s connected to an
AppleTalk networking interface, such as LocalTalk, it selects an
appropriate IPX gateway in the specified zone. In some cases (for
example, if you get an error message), you need to select the gateway
yourself.
To select an IPX gateway yourself:
1. In the AppleTalk Access Configuration dialog box, deselect Always
Auto-Select an IPX Gateway from the Selected Zone.
