[pptp-server] PPP / IPX Frame Type Question

[JedTheHead]

Hi all!

How do I assign (auto-assign is fine) additional frame types to ppp interfaces for IPX ?

I have IPX working for PopTop and on both NICs in my pptpd server I have the 802.2 and 802.3 frame types bound to both NICs. (I also have ethernet II bound to them.)
When I connect to the server from my client machine (Windows XP) only the Ethernet II frame type is bound to the PPP interface.  I have everything set correctly on the client side using 802.2 as the default frame type and IPX for the NetWare Client, not IPX / IP as you can do since NetWare 5.  I can also communicate fine with my home NetWare server.  Currently I am using this:

/usr/bin/ipx_interface add ppp0 802.2
/usr/bin/ipx_interface add ppp0 802.3
 
in my /etc/ppp/ip-up script to bind the frame types to the ppp interface, but it doesn't assign IPX numbers to the frame types.  It gives me this:

=========================================================
ppp0   Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:192.168.1.32  P-t-P:192.168.1.51  Mask:255.255.255.255
          IPX/Ethernet II addr:000000BB:0000F8717FB9
          IPX/Ethernet 802.2 addr:  <-------------------------------
          IPX/Ethernet 802.3 addr:  <-------------------------------
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1400  Metric:1
          RX packets:32 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
=========================================================

I can hit the network and login via the NetWare Client, but a lot of things (obviously) don't work.  

Here is a dump from ifconfig without the "/usr/bin/ipx_interface add ppp0 802.2" statements in the /etc/ppp/ip-up file: (eth0 is on the internal network and eth1 is the external interface)

Here is my /etc/ppp/options file

auth

+chapms-v2
mppe-40
mppe-128
mppe-stateless
ipx
ipx-network bb
=========================================================


I am also running ipxripd.  It seems to be working fine, although I wish there was a way to see the IPX routing table.  (If there is, I am just not aware of it yet.)

Thanks in advance!!!!
