First, i agree with some of the other posts regarding lab questions. I dont
think a candidate is preparing correctly if all they are doing is trying to
get answers to particular lab questions. Part of the pride in getting a CCIE
is knwoing you figured out the lab, and were able to solve complex issues,
which in my opinion ARE real world scnerios. From my understanding, allot of
the lab questions are sourced form the TAC, who help customers everyday.

Now onto a question I have that is no longer on the CCIE R/S that i am hoping
someone can help me with:

I had recently setup IPX eigrp over a frame-relay WAN, with IPX rip on the
ethernet. The problem i am seeing is there is a novell 5.1 server running IPX
on the ethernet trying to get to other remote sites (there are 3 other sites)
and the servers will not see other servers because of time sync issues
reported on the server. This had occured 2 weeks after setting up the routing
on the cisco equipment,and my question is there a compatability issue with IPX
EIGRP and novell 5.1 RIP/SAP? I heard that youcan only run NLSP on cisco
routers and not EIGRP with novell 5.1. I did research and found nothing that
supports that theory.

The routers can ping each other just fine, all networks arfe visible, there
are no split-horizon issues, and the router can ping the servers at each lan.

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
