Re: [FW-1] IPX through FW-1

[Tom Rowan <tom.rowan@FW1-NOSPAMSECURITYALCHEMY.NET>]

Hi there,

I the past I've had to allow IPX accross an NT firewall.
Not a good plan, but if you HAVE to... ;-)

What I did was install the RRAS service and use that to route the IPX
*around*
firewall-1. As FW1 lives on the bottom of the IP stack, it never sees
the IPX traffic.
The main, glaring, problem is that the IPX traffic is not checked at
all... Doh!

Hope that helps??

Tom
