If your trying to do this over a local LAN then you need to install IPX on each machine. It will not work over a IP network (The Internet for instances).

Si,
Did you read this bit......
"It will not work over a IP network (The Internet for instances)."
Last time I checked
Jeff had it right - the Internet doesn't route IPX. Its like asking if you can read e-mail with an ftp client. Its fundamentally different.
