I don't know if this solves your problem, but this is what I am doing
with FreeBSD, the Internet, novell, and IPtunneling
I have novell 3.11 and above servers interconnected with FreeBSD 2.1.0R
and 2.0.5R systems using gated 3.5a10 and 3.5a10. The servers are
IPtunneling between eachother, the interconneted network will only allow
me to pass IP. Our network supports RIP, so with gated I did not do any
special configuration.
/etc/gated.conf
rip yes ;
novell --- FBSD -------------------- FBSD ---- novell
server 2.1.0R IP ONLY 2.1.0R server
w/gated w/gated
IPX IPX
I believe commands on each of the servers is, I'm fuzzy off the top of
my head:
sys:/system/autoexec.ncf:
load tcpip
load <your.network.card> format=ethernet_II name=<your.name>
bind ip to <your.name> addr=<your.ip.address> // more stuff goes here
load iptunnel peer=<server.on.other.side>
bind ipx to iptunnel net=<wan.network.id>
Netware 3.1x comes with TCP/IP books, in the back of that book they talk
about IPtunneling.
one thing that really threw me for a long time; this depends on router
supporting rip, if the network is using static routes, then you must add
parameters on load tcpip line, and one other I don't remember, to
include gateway ip address.
Hope this helps
