(ASCEND) IPX on Routed P75

     The resolution at this time appears to be..
     
     For MS standard netware client on 95       add the fffffffe route 
     For MS nw client with NDS on 95            add the fffffffe route 
     For Intranetware on NT                     add or not add is ok
     For Netware 32 bit client on 95            do NOT add the fffffffe rt
     
     A couple of issues with a P75 which is routing:  If you use the 
     Netware 32 bit client you need to be using the NDIS drivers not ODI. 
     Secondly if you do have the fffffffe static IPX route, the client gets 
     stuck with the dreaded hourglass for 10 to 15 minutes.  The logon 
     sometimes succeeds after this painfully slow process. 
     
     The other major snafu we found was the 300 route limit in the P75.  
     This is what caused us to start to look at the static IPX route to 
     begin with.  
     
     IPX SAP proxying we found worked with only one of our networks.  It's 
     the oddest thing.  We got this to work with a network in Toronto - but 
     could not get this to work at any other site.  We attempted to 
     replicate the exact Cisco if settings.  But to no avail.  Anyone out 
     there have IPX SAP proxying working like a champ in a large multi-city 
     environment?
     
     These are my findings so far.  Hopefully this info will be useful to 
     others attempting to implement netware with the P75.

     With Win 95, Netware 32 bit client and a P75 routing IP and IPX - the 
     boot time seems to be painfully slow.  10 minutes or more is not 
     uncommon.  Anyone have a recommendation?
