thanks for the reply/advice:
i can post some configs if needed, and some ipx server tables:
IPX is used on the novell 5.1 for some applications that use it. Also i
think the administrator for the system isnt to bright and doesnt want to
change the way it was setup.
The routers are running ipx eigrp over the wan, and ipx rip over the lan,
the router does have a list of servers, and is able to ping them. However
groupwise is not working even after rebuilding the database and such, and
time sync is still a problem on the servers. Im not looking for a answer to
those problems, i just want to make sure thaty if my IPX EIGRP is seeing all
networks, and the routers can ping the ipx servers (with the ipx ping
default novell option) then there isnt a compatability issue with Novell ipx
rip/sap and IPX eigrp.
thanks!
