Note You must assign the Token-Ring bridge a unique number. If the bridge connecting two token rings does not have a unique number, the IPX/SPX connection fails. The NetWare servers, Domino servers, and other switches or bridges on the given Token-Ring network all share a common IPX network number within the bridged domain.
1. Make sure that the IPX/SPX network frame types are correctly configured.
2. Make sure that you have the latest versions of the IPX/SPX protocol services installed on the all of the Notes clients, Domino servers, and NetWare servers.
3. Make sure that the Domino server located on the Token-Ring network that is using source routing can access a local NetWare server that has source routing enabled, so that either the Bindery or NDS name resolver service can be established. You must implement Novell's source-routing NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) in an IPX/SPX network.
4. Check that the switch or bridge configuration can support the frame sizes that the IPX/SPX protocol is using. Many units limit the buffers to 4096 or 4500 octets (bytes). The IPX/SPX protocol stack settings on Notes clients or Domino servers may also need to be altered so that they don't exceed the switch's or bridge's frame size limit.
