PING IPX to PC fails

I am looking at IPX and am trying to look at the troubleshooting
facilities available.

In trying to prove the connectivity I am running in to problems, 'ping
ipx' is providing misleading results! According to ping all the routers
and the server have ipx connectivity. However, ping claims that there
is NO connectivity to the PC! Whereas, I can actually connect from the
PC to the server and copy files and print successfully!

I can successfully 'ping ipx' from any router to any other router and to
the Netware server. The PC client can login and mount the servers
resources. However, I can not get a ping response from the PC client!!!

I have a simple 3 router scenario:

 R1
    e0/0 ipx network 4 802.2 (SAP) --> PC
    s0/0 ipx network 2 DTE / ppp

 R2
    s0 ipx network 2 DCE / ppp
    s1 ipx network 3 DCE / ppp

 R3
    e0 ipx network 10 802.2 (SAP) --> SERVER
    s0 ipx network 3 DTE / ppp

All 3 routers are configured for ipx ping-default Novell.

IPX RIP is running on the two ethernets and eigrp on the rest.

A Windows 95 PC (with MS netware client) is attached to network 4.
A Netware 5 server is attached to network 10 ethernet.

Any ideas / suggestions please.

Thanks

Peter
