Hi list!

Is it possible to tunnel IPX protocol inside VPN (for ex. openvpn) ?

hmmm..
I was hoping its possible to connect to VPN with windows client. I
need to run some old
stuff that's using IPX as transport (also old games like RedAlert ;-) ).

Well, as long as you're not trying to establish the VPN tunnel over IPX,
you can tunnel whatever you want.  So, once you've established a VPN
connection with another box, or a concentrator, it shouldn't matter what
type of traffic goes through the tunnel.

Sorry, but that's simply not true. IPX has no glue what to do with a
TCP/IP based VPN tunnel.

... and it doesn't need to. Gentuxx's answer above is correct.

Sucessfully creating a VPN tunnel of some sort does really not enable
IPX traffic automagically. At least you have to establish ethernet
bridging on both ends of the tunnel. Not that big a deal if you have two
Linux boxes on both ends of the tunnel and run say OpenVPN. But I was
under the impression that this is not the scenario here.

Right you are ;)
The other endpoint is supposed to be WinXP box.
I was wondering if there's some magical way to establish an IPX tunnel
inside a TCP based VPN (using openvpn client at one endpoint).
Why does everything besides random clicking have to be so hard in this damn OS..

Thanks for your awnsers. Thread closed.

It's been some time ago, so I can't remember the details - but can't you
bind IPX over TCP/IP in WinXP?  I know for sure that you can bind
NetBIOS to TCP/IP.
