I suppose you have looked at Boris Popov's page http://www.butya.kz/~bp They contain some useful how-to's on setting up IPX for FreeBSD. 2. You may want to search -questions mail archive for "IPX gateway using freebsd" for some thread on topic. Here is the snip from my mail to it: >> <<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...). >The PC belong to first part does not link with another PC that belong to the second part. >How do I make to provide the connection with PC from different parts not using ip protocol ? I think you mean "resource sharing" in windows98 between different Ethernet segments, yes? Well, i was unable to do this without: a. enabling IPXNetbios support for IPX/SPX on win stations b. turning on net.ipx.ipxnetbios variable in kernel (it is OFF by default) on FreeBSD machine Here is beforementioned entry in my /etc/rc.network file: if [ "X$ipxgateway_enable" = X"YES" ]; then echo -n ' IPX gateway=YES' sysctl -w net.ipx.ipx.ipxforwarding=1 >/dev/null 2>&1 fi if [ "X$ipxnetbios_enable" = X"YES" ]; then echo -n ' IPX netbios=YES' sysctl -w net.ipx.ipxnetbios=1 >/dev/null 2>&1 fi Hope this may help... Someone more experienced with this stuff _must_ correct me if this is (totally) wrong.
