Hello group,
Here is a problem I've been faced with. I have very simple
network for a small client. The config is like this, r1 connects
to r2 over dedicated T1. 6 DS0's of this T1 are split at the CSU/DSU
and go to a "PBX", so I'm left with 18 DS0's for data.
There is IP and IPX involved. There are Novell servers on each of these
two sites. Routing protocol is EIGRP for IP, EIGRP IPX on the WAN, and
obviously IPX RIP on the LAN. The problem is that I loose IPX packets
going thru the WAN link. I tested all over the place, I was placing loops
everywhere possible on either side. I worked with Telco, they don't see
any errors on the line. The strangest thing is that with IP there is no
problem at all. Only when using extened IPX pings, even between the
Serial interfaces, I keep on loosing packets. The problem to the
end stations is that the Novell mapped drives are very slow, the documents
being opened are hanging the systems, and more of such nightmares :(
I even tried testing with different routers and still no go. It would seem
that I have a problem with the Telco. However, like I said, there is no
problem
with IP traffic at all !!! I don't get any errors on the interfaces, the
only errors
that come up sometimes are CRC's - yes I verified/played with the timing as
well - when I do extended IPX pings but not when I do IP extended pings.
With loopbacks, everything works great until I go out to the Telco,
once the line is crossed to the telco, I get the errors - but again only
with IPX.
Any ideas to this problem would be appreciated..
