For RAS dial-in to an IPX network, two IP network numbers have to be spec-
ified:
the IPX network number of the main office
An additional IPX network number for the superordinate WAN
According to IPX convention, the necessary network numbers are referred to
as "external network numbers". Similar to IP network addresses, they apply
for an entire LAN segment. Conversely, the IPX internal network numbers are
for addressing Novell servers in the LAN. All three of these network numbers
must differ not only from one another but also from all IPX internal network
numbers being used.
Furthermore, it may be necessary to specify the frame type (binding) used in
the remote LAN.
If a Novell server is operated in the remote network, it is not necessary to
specify the remote IPX network number or the binding. In this case, too, a net-
work number for the WAN must be specified manually.

Settings for NetBIOS routing
When working with NetBIOS, the only information required is the name of a
Windows workgroup in the LAN used by the router.
The connection is not established automatically. The RAS user first has
to manually establish a connection to the LANCOM Router with the
LAN at the main office
