Hello!
Recently, I tried to tunnel IPX packets over a SSH connection in order
to play an old DOS game over the internet. The game uses IPX for
communication.
I had no success using the 'ipxtunnel' (mentioned in the Linux IPX-HOWTO).
So, my questions are:
- Is there any alternative to 'ipxtunnel'
- Are there any IPX diagnosis tools available to check whether or not my
IPX 'connection' works at all?

You could use IPTUNNEL. You'll need LAN Workplace for DOS if your client
is DOS or Windows 3.x.

The best bet is to set up a sniffer at both ends and see if the IPX over
IP is getting from one site to the other (and back)?

IPTUNNEL is a DOS application, right?

Which IPX-sniffer can you suggest?

Yes. I'm pretty sure it was part of LAN Workplace for DOS.

I'd be surprised if WireShark didn't have support for showing IPX packets?
If not, there's always PacketView! ;^)
