NetWare 3.12 > configred as a router. [ ... ] > Any suggestions ? Old NetWare will not support split netmasks correctly. If you have two cards on the netware server, the must have identical netmasks. In addition, for 3.11 or 3.12, I believe that the netmasks must be on 8 bit boundries, or they won't work (like old Linux networking, it doesn't support splitting a netmask on bit boundries). You don't give the 'names' of your wires, other than the top level one (named 193.233.113.0/255.255.255.0), so this is mostly speculation from my own experience using NetWare boxes as IP routers at Novell, Sandy.
