Hello

Just to add my two-pennorth (3 cents US). The default protocol for
Netware 5.1 is TCP/IP and it will have been installed on the server even
if it's not configured (unlikely). Inetcfg, however, isn't a GUI but its
pretty easy to follow the menus - enable the IP protocol and bind to the
board then reinitialize the system and you wont even have to bring the
server down.

We use IP for backing up our 4.x Netware servers - where the default is
IPX - as well as our 5 and 6 servers without any problems. There's no
need to do anything clever - just install and configure IP.

Hi

If you have a Netware 5.1 server, there shouldn't be any problems
having 
the Netware talk through TCPIP. All you have to do is run inetcfg(load

inetcfg) from the command line on the netware server. This will bring
up a 
graphical interface were you can configure TCP/IP.

Only problem would be if not TCP/IP is installed. This is however a
fairly 
easy installation, which is done through nwconfig(load nwconfig). Here
you 
can select to install netware products and drivers, such as TCP/IP.

AIX natively doesn't speak IPX. However, I'm uncertain whether or not 
there are any 3rd party products which can apply IPX functionality to
AIX, 
such as FastConnect or any other product.

Easiest solution would be to enable TCP/IP on Netware.

        Subject:        netware client on aix tsm server


hi all,

A cotumer of ours wants a netware 5.1 server in our backup schedule.
This client doesnt support tcp/ip only ipxspx. I did see an ipxsocket
available in server options, but according to the costumer the server
returnes with an "invalid ipx adress" when starting the client.
Now this costumer had netware installed by another party 4 years ago
and
doesnt know anything about handling the OS itself, nor do I. So our
only
option is to make the tsm-server available to the ipx protocol. As far
as 
I
know aix (4.3.2) doesnt understand ipx. My question: how do I make aix
understand ipx? or how do i make netware understand tcpip?

thnx a lot,

Mi©helle
