[pptp-server] pptpd & ipx

[tmk]

i believe you mean FORWARDING packets.. Routing requires that you know the destination. For example, tiberian sun has a network section where you type the ipx network in so it knows where the other computer is. If you don't do that, nothing gets sent to their interface.

I have been halfheartedly looking into a way to allow multiple interfaces to share the same network number and forward packets between them, or have some kind of masquerading service. Unfortunately, i don't have that much time and there are other, more interesting things i could be doing :)

  Hi, I know this is not a pptpd problem, but it involves it.  for some reason, I can't seem to get ipxd to route packets between different ipx networks from my pptp connection to my localnet.  I figured this out by trying to play a game and it never seemed to work.  then i tried entering \\computername when ipxd wasn't running and that also worked, so that lead me to the conclusion that ipxd was not routing packets from my pptp connection to my localnet.  has anyone had any success with ipx over pptp?
