Re: IPX over the Internet
Hi,
Yup, a tunnel is the only way to get IPX data over the internet. I suggest
that you investigate the following setting
--------------------------------------------------------- UDP over
IP
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SSL Tunnel
================================================== IXP datastream
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
I know, ascii art ain't my strongpoint so ill explain now
Running an IPX stream trough a SSL tunnel ( the === line and the --- next to
it)
This gives you encryption. You don't want all to monitor your IPX
communication.
The outer lines represent a UDP link to send the SSL data. You don't need
TCP, if a packet is lost, IPX will fail and request the stuff it's missed
again.
I'm no IPX expert, but i do know my IP stuff, and i can tell you that you
can't do it without a tunnel of some kind.
If you figure it out, let me know! It's got my attention........
Yours,
Nico de Haer
