John, thank you so much for this patch to IPXrouted, I'm specifically interested in the filtering mechanism, because it's a lot of IPX junk on our network (basically an entire multi-site campus.) > Here is a patch that I'm running.

It would seem that you would not see the servers at all on the nlist. But once you see them and you try connecting to them, they should be right there, or not? My problem is that I can see the server being listed but when I try to log in or do more with it, it says that the server isn't available; or if it is, other subsequent accesses may fail. Would be nice to know what kind of problem your patch has fixed for you. I will try it anyway, and I am hopeful that the mere filtering may help to get things straightened out.
