Oscar, if you are still interested, try one of Boris Popov's pages: http://dixi.8m.com/ http://www.butya.kz/~bp They contain some useful how-to's on setting up IPX for FreeBSD. I'll put also some relevant parts from my rc.conf at the end of this message. >Doug White wrote: >I don't know if FreeBSD PPP supports IPX or not. I'm guessing no, since So am I.

Hmmm... Probably I got this wrong, but what I have: <<From /etc/rc.conf>> network_interfaces="ep0 ep1 ep2 lo0 sl0" [...] ifconfig_ep0_ipx="ipx aaaa0000" ifconfig_ep1_ipx="ipx bbbb0000" ifconfig_ep2_ipx="ipx cccc0000" [...] ipxgateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES to enable IPX routing. ipxrouted_enable="YES" # Set to YES to run the IPX routing daemon. ipxrouted_flags="-s" # Flags for IPX routing daemon. ipxnetbios_enable="YES" # YES to enable sharing under IPX. [...] Note last line - I added it by myself (with the corresponding entry in /etc/rc.network) to enable disks/printers sharing between my different Ethernet segments in the mixed Win3x/Win9x/WinNT workstations LAN (sigh...). >Your bigger problem is that the dialup link does not support IPX. It seems true... What a pity for you 8-( Igor Bykhalo. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
