What I've done: #sysctl -a gives: net.ipx.ipxnetbios:0 Because all my clients are wintel'ed thus supporting IPX with NETBIOS, I just found in ~/sys/netipx/ file called ipx_input.c This is the only file containing line static int ipxnetbios = 0 Changed it to 1 and rebuilt kernel ... It works! Caution: I'm not a (system) programmer, so probably my solution is (methodically?) incorrect. Of course, you might try (as I did) first #sysctl -w net.ipx.ipxnetbios=1 to check if this is your case... Igor P.S. To hackers: my opinion is that this topic about IPX routing appears quite regularly (though not very frequently) in the form "I want IPX routing - and it doesn't work". Probably the docs need to describe correct actions in more detailed fashion?? >Date: Thu, 03 Dec 1998 15:09:39 -0600 >From: "Dale Anderson" >Subject: IPX Routing > > I am setting up aFreeBSD 2.2.8 box as a router. I have IP routing between interfaces, but IPX is not.
