How do we specify an IP address for the gateway on a Novell 4.1 server? We have a VPN connection between two remote locations and we can't ping the novell server from clients at the remote location, but we can ping the NT server. Basically, we have a corporate office with two servers (Novell & NT) and we want remote workstations to have access to the corporate office servers. We are using Netopia routers for the VPN connection.

Check your startup.ncf and autoexec.ncf on your netware 4.1 server. This is where the adpater is loaded and IP is bound. You are obviously running an IP network instead of IPX/SPX. Verify that your subnet mask is correct in thsi file also. Run the IPTRACE.nlm from the system console (iptrace "ip of client on remote location")
or run TRACERT "ip of netware4.1 server" from a client workstation on the remote side to determine where the ICMP packets are being dropped. Hope this helps.

if you are using ip then you need a nwhost file entry to get it to work through a vpn do a search for this file thre is a sample one in the client directory
