The interface name must be added to the network_interface line, but you will probably have that already if you have ip configured on that interface. Then you need a line with the ipx network number, something like this: ifconfig_ed0_ipx="ipx 0x12345678" Your larger lan (with the Netware server(s) on it) will already have a network number. You should be able to find that out from the sysadmin or look on the Netware server (if you can) to see what it use on its interface. For your own lan you can use anything as long as it isn't used somewhere else on any of the lans you are connected to. Remember that the standard FreeBSD IPX code only supports Ethernet_II framing, not any of the others. John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za
