To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Sat, 17 Jan 1998 09:40:32 -0600 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL32 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk A friend of mine is working on porting the linux ipxping utility (to ping Novell Netware Servers via IPX). Has anyone got a working port or any suggestions? Current output is bash# ./ipxping e4498aaa 00:00:00:00:00:01 error: ipx_send: Can't assign requested address He said he ran into this on a linux box had and to use some ipx utils for linux to setup an IPX routing table. We're currently using IP to look at our netware servers, but ipx is the core protocol for Netware and if it stops working and IP is working then things just aren't working for most services.
