I am mounting nwfs on freebsd versions 4.5 to 4.8. The details of how to do this a not easy to find -- even when I've done it before. I think I originally only found the way through a query to this mailing l= ist. At least for FBSD 4.x it is necessary to generate additional pseudo interfaces derived from the fxp0 (or whatever your base interface is) interface each dedicated to a particular IPX variant. This is done with the pseudo-device ef in the kernel configuration or you should be able to use the loadable module if_ef.ko. Take a look at the man page ef(4). Now configure with # ifconfig fxp0f2 ipx 0x00010010 or whatever the appropriate variant is in your case or if you are not sure you should be able to fire up all 4 variants I have actually included this in the kernel configuration with: options IPX #IPX/SPX communications protocols options NCP #NetWare Core protocol pseudo-device ef # Multiple ethernet frames suppor= t options ETHER_II # enable Ethernet_II frame options ETHER_8023 # enable Ethernet_802.3 (Novell) = frame options ETHER_8022 # enable Ethernet_802.2 frame options ETHER_SNAP and then in rc.conf you could use : ifconfig_fxp0f2_ipx=3D"ipx 0x00010010" Malcolm Kay
