Of the > 3, only the Ethernet_II entry shows a LAN address. Your novell server is configured to handle these 3 frame types, that means just about any Novell client can find the bugger... your probably using Ethernet_SNAP to support Mac systems. To be fully functional your IPX router will need to deal with all 3 of these frame types. As it stands now the only one supported is Ethernet_II. You could go around and start converting all the clients to Ethernet_II, which is not a bad idea in itself (makes for sniffing the network a lot easier :-)). If you can convert all the clients on the otherside of the router to be using Ethernet_II your will be up and running with the current code. This can easily be done for most current Novell clients (ODI and NDIS drivers), the other NetX stuff is not so easy, and if I remeber correctly you folks have all the sales systems running NetX.exe over packet drivers. :-( -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
