- Since the two IP binds are to two different IP subnets, i assume the
- two NICs called "ipcard" on either server are connected to two
- different physical networks. On the other hand, the two binds to IPX
- give the same network number, 66, when binding IPX to the two NICs.
- If there are in fact two different physical networks, that could
- explain your results, particularly if you are doing some of your
- connectivity testing using a NetWare client on one of those two networks.

- Your tunnel configuration looks correct. If my guess isn't correct
- (if one of the two "net=66"'s is a typo, for example), then the next
- thing to check is that 128.146.184.4 and 128.146.6.79 can actually
- send IP packets to each other. (To check IP connectivity between
- servers, I normally use TCPCON's "change host" function to aim TCPCON
- on one server to the IP address of the other to see if the SNMP
- packets can get back and forth.) If the two nodes can't send IP
- packets back and forth, then there's something basic wrong with the IP
- configuration, so you can focus your attention there.
