Hi !
I have the following problem:
My FreeBSD box runs FreeBSD-current and it provides
IP/IPX routing between the four newtwork interfaces ( 3 NE2000 + 1 Tulip).
Sometime ago since the CVSup'ing of -current my tulip card couldn't assign
IPX address to interface by the ifconfig. I seen at /pci/if_de.c and can't
find implementation of IPX portion of code for ioctl requests
( SIOCSIFADDR).
After patching I can work with IPX on tulip but, the next
misteriuos thing is happen :
IPX packets to one of my networks, connected to tulip card
can't successfully forwards from the remote network :
NET 0 NET 1
Broken IPX net. Good IPX net.
*--------------- Tulip ( ) NE2000 ------------*
( FreeBSD box ) Good IPX net
+--------( )NE2000--1'st if(*)2'nd if--+
| NetWare 3.12 |
| NET 2 |
| |
| NetWare 4.1
| NET 3
|
1'st if
( FreeBSD box)
2'nd if NET 4
|
+-------------NetWare 4.1 ( unreachable from tulip).
But Netware 4.1 from unreachable network can see from a NET 1-3 :-(
Thanks , Vasily .
