Hi,
My customer has 2 gigaswitch and having problem with the IPX. When client B is
attached to gigaswitch B, it's unable to attach to the server. TCPIP works
fine and able to ping the server. Client A has no problem and able to attach
the server. Can some tell me what could be the problem? Gigaswitch firmware
revision is as 2.2. The configuration of the setup is summarised below:

How about first upgrading to BL3.1 in note 914.0 ?

| 954.2 | Upgraded to 3.1, still failed... | MSAM00::ONGKIENHIN | Mon Apr 21 1997 21:20 | 11 | |
Hi,
We hv upgraded the firmware to 3.1 but doesn't solve the problem. On
further investigation, we found out that the customer is having a WINNT
server running NWLINK IPX/SPX compatible and as well as the win95
client. Is there a difference between the Novell IPX and WINNT IPX?
On the 900EF, will it help if I enable the IPX switching?
thks.

...this is the GIGAswitch notes conference - mostly you'll find
people here to discuss GIGAswitch problems. I suspect that not too
many people here are that familiar with IPX problems or 900EF
configurations... You really ought to escalate this through proper
channels.
I don't see any particular reason to suspect the GIGAswitch/FDDI
system of misbehaviour in your configuration. The more likely suspects
are IPX misconfigurations and/or 900EF misconfigurations, both of which
I am sadly ignorant.
You can fairly easily confirm or eliminate the GIGAswitch/FDDI
system of complicity, by temporarily eliminating the GIGAswitch/FDDI
systems and just connecting the Novell devices up in a FDDI ring.
