Even Netware 4.11 and 4.2 have the ability to encapsulate IPX in IP as an added service called NetwareIP. If this is Netware 3.x or Windows NT based your best bet is probably GRE or setting up a Netware 4.11 or better server acting as an IPX gateway. The IPX gateway is similar to Cisco GRE without Cisco equipment.

If you don't have any later-version netware (5.x or later) servers handy, you can use GRE tunneling on Cisco routers to tunnel the IPX through IP. This is relatively simple to configure, and can be made transparent to IPX servers on either side (i.e. the tunnel link appears as a single hop to the IPX network, regardless of how many hops the packet takes on the IP network). IPSec can/should be used in concert with GRE if the data will traverse a public network.

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

Hello all,
Im facing the following problem.
We have to connect two campus networks in the next month from which one is
running also IPX for some database servers.
On our side we can make the connection only through our FW-1. In front of
the FW-1, at the outside world, we have a cisco 3640. Inside our network on
one of the interfaces of the FW-1 we have to bring up a Windows NT database
server running IPX also.
The link between both campus networks are using gigabit ethernet and only
tcp/ip.

I know it must be possible to encapsulate IPX in IP but have no experience
with it.
Can anyone give me any clues?

Thanks for your time and help
