Hi ! I have FreeBSD 2.2 RELEASE. My FreeBSD box is an Internet gateway and Samba file server for three LANs. I need an IPX gateway, in two of three LANs I have NetWare file servers. My FreeBSD box : ed0 ( NE200)---NetWare 4.1 | NetWare 3.12----ed1( NE200) | de0( DEC21040)-----NetWare clients IPX routing works fine on my FreeBSD, but with following problem: IPX packets forwards de0 <-> ed0 or de0 <-> ed1 only if on the de0 interface promiscuous mode is enabled, forwarding through ed1 <-> ed0 works without promiscuouty on the this interfaces. I try the following steps: 1. I compiled the kernel with options IPX options IPX_PRINTFS=0 options IPX_ERRPRINTFS=0 2. I ifconfig'ured my interfaces according to their correct IPX network numbers 3. I turned MIB variable net.ipx.ipx.ipxforwarding=1 4. I ran IPXrouted with option -s . 5. But it works only if I run tcpdump -i de0 or my own program which simply turn promiscuouty on specified network interface. May be Tulip device driver contain some errors? I haven't expirience to analyze /sys/pci/if_de.c ( 130K ) ;-) . Any suggestions?
