I wiish to retire a rather aging Linux box which has been providing=20
(amongst other things) access to a Novell file server.

The new box has has FreeBSD 4.8 installed and I have recompiled=20
the kernel with:
  options "IPX"
  options "NCP"

And appended to rc.conf
  ifconfig_rl0_ipx=3D"ipx 0x0000001B"=20
  ipxgateway_enable=3D"YES"=20
  ipxrouted_enable=3D"YES"

rl0 is also configured for an inet address and ifconfog reports
 rl0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 192.1.3.230 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.1.3.255
        inet6 fe80::250:fcff:fea8:3e08%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1=20
        ipx 1b.50fca83e08=20
        ether 00:50:fc:a8:3e:08
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active

The problem is that I have not been able to get any of the utilities to f=
ind=20
the server:

central:202> ipxping PHILHEND
ipxping: could not find server PHILHEND
: syserr =3D Network is down

central:203> ncplist s
Can't find any file server

Am I doing something stupid?
Am I overlooking something?

Can anyone please help or suggest how I might proceed?
