Thanks! > Three things I can think of. Our IPX only support ETHERNET_II framing. NOT 802.3 (yet) You will have to ifconfig each interface that you want to use with IPX, with an IPX network address. These can be randomly chosen except where you already have a Novell server or something else that is configured with an IPX network address. (Each net must be unique though.) You must enable IPX forwarding in the kernel with sysctl. The variable is something like "net.ipx.ipx.forwarding". I'm not at a -cuurent box now. John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za
