(Sorry for the long windedness, please bear with me, I am frazzled)
I am unable to get a previously working 4.4-STABLE #13: Wed Sep 19 13:42:46 
PDT 2001 ncplib to work at all.  The error message I receive when I try to 
perform an ncplogin is:

         ncplogin: can't find server AGA_41: syserr = Network is down

Everything appears to be in order, and I don't believe anything else has 
changed in the configuration files.

The odd thing is, I can ipxping the server's network address 
101.a0c9f15e7b, but cannot ping myself 101.21f5aa47.  I think therein lies 
the problem.

I tried rebuilding ncplib to no avail (I am using version 1.3.4).

I am at a loss, it was working before I did a buildworld, and now it is 
broken afterward.  I tried booting with kernel.old dated 9/10/01 that was 
working, but had the same result, so there must be something is userland 
that is broken.  As always, during mergemaster I was careful not to merge 
any customized /etc files.

I verified that I have "options IPX" in my kernel configuration 
file.  IPXrouted is running and active, "ipxgateway_enable" is set to "YES" 
in rc.conf.

I used to have this problem when I was running Netware 4.10 on our server, 
but since I upgraded to 4.11, it has worked flawlessly until now.

I am getting SAP broadcasts, as evidenced by the output of "netstat -fipx -r":

         Routing tables

         IPX:

         default            101.a0c9f15e7b     UG        rl0

The e100 and e101 are my interfaces on the Netware server, supplied by SAP, 
the 101 is my rl0 i/f (see bewlo).
