There's no NetBUI or IPX support in ppp. You can do NetBIOS as long as it's over TCP/IP, and you can agree NBNSs at LCP time too. Check the ``set nbns'' command in the man page. > I setup the PPP link as described in the man page to ppp under method #2. > > Any information about patches that can be applied, changed to > configuration, etc. will be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks in advance. > > -Stacy Apart from ppp not supporting NetBUI (does anything?) or IPX, the tun device under FreeBSD doesn't actually do non-IP packets. I plan to change this soon, but I've been putting it off because there's very little gain unless I plan to implement IPXCP, and that would mean setting up another windows box at home.... tricky. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
