Hi Mark, You don't say which version of Netware you are using, but I would guess that it is 3.0 or later. If so they have an internal network number which should also show up in the netstat -r report. Why do you say that you receive RIP/SAP packets? One problem might be because the FreeBSD IPX code only supports Ethernet_II framing, which is not the default for Netware servers. The default for Netware 3.x is 802.3 framing and I think for v4.x it is 802.2SNAP, but I'm not 100% sure. The easiest if you only have W95 machines will be to change the server to use Ethernet_II framing. (The default 95 setup will sense that automatically.) If you have older Win3.X machines and diskless machines it won't be that easy. If you can't do Ethernet_II framing, I do have a patch to enable 802.3 framing on the FreeBSD box.

Any suggestions as to what's wrong?
