MULTIPLE IPX VERSIONS AND 5250 GATEWAY
|
|
|
|
|
|
When linking multiple file servers and operating systems, (particularly
|
|
Novell), the following problems may occur when trying to link workstations to
|
|
a gateway:
|
|
|
|
- Error message "unable to find master gateway".
|
|
|
|
- With sessions connected, "hang-up" or loss of connection to the
|
|
gateway may occur.
|
|
|
|
The problems are caused by the various versions of IPX that use different
|
|
methods of addressing nodes and sending data packets. There are significant
|
|
differences between IPX versions 2.XX and 3.XX.
|
|
|
|
To optimize performance and reliability, common versions of IPX must be used
|
|
on all nodes.
