Correct me If I think wrong. IP can use Ethernet_II or Ethernet_SNAP, but FreeBSD uses only Ethernet_II. IPX runs on four frame types: Ethernet_II, Ethernet_802.3, Ethernet_802.2, Ethernet_SNAP. The _default_ frame type for NetWare v3.x is Ethernet_802.3, the _default_ frame for NetWare v4.x is Ethernet_802.2. Only top management from IEEE and Novell knows, why IPX runs on four frames. I have headake (?) from their decision, which is normall for normall folks. JPB
