Of course! You're right. I got them the wrong way round! It's TIPX that 
is loaded with TBBS. TIPXI14 is the slave which I use when logging in to 
TBBS from across the LAN.

Yes, well I have IPX working OK on the BBS computer under DOS. I, too, 
can't get both IPX and TCP/IP working together on the same machine - 
which makes it a problem on the Internet machine. That *has* to have 
TCP/IP enabled. But does TIAD have its own IPX stack or do I have to 
load IPX on the machine that runs TIAD?

Or have I misunderstood completely and TIAD has to be loaded on the TBBS 
machine?
