I checked with our network/netware guy, and he's told me that we're running "0 interface with an Ethernet_II frame", so I've got fxp0f0 configured with our network number, which he's given me as 0x83a2c800 ... *but* ... and here is where I'm potentially getting things screwed up ... Our network is a B-Class, with from x.x.128.x up being divided into subnets of 8 C-classes each ... so subnet 128, 136, 144, etc ... our netware server is on subnet 200, which is the 83a2c800 that he's given me ... the computer I'm working on is a laptop, so will be on several different subnets, but never on subnet 200 ... is 83a2c800 the netnum I want to use, or is there something else I should be using? With everything apparenty configured right, if I do: ncplogin -T DOMAIN -U user -S server it comes back with: Warning: no cfg files found. ncplogin: can't find server SERVER: syserr = Network is down IP wise, I can ping the server no problem, so I'm missing one step here for the IPX stuff ... ?
