How many > PCs are there? It is impossible to change to Ethernet_II? 1) Yes, it is 'impossible'. I have known, that to boot diskless station, novell need 802.2 or 802.3. I recomended to use bootp/dhcp, I am not sure, if it is possible. 2) I use IPX router. Before 2.2-9707xx-RELENG IPX router (== driver (!) + ipx stack in kernel + IPXrouted) can run only on net, which used only II. Another frames lead to hang/crash. _Now_ ipx stack runs as well as ip stack, e.g. on net can be all four types of frames. I would like write "IPX router runs without _any_ problem from 21/07/97", but I must wait a moment yet. 3) I am not sure, if fbsd does not support other frames. Why - see my list from netstat -r below. Pavel, I suggest, if you are novell administrator, try IPXrouter for other frames! I can't. You will need install 2.2-970713-RELENG. But I use IPXrouter on 2.2.1-RELEASE; I only replaced binaries for /kernel and /usr/sbin/IPXrouted. 4) Small explanation: usually are on one interface three novell nets. For example, on interface ep3 are novell nets 110, 111, 112 with frames 802.2, II, 802.3. (I don't understand the end of routing table; 1 may be snap frame). Because frames 802.2, 802.3 _are used_, I think, that ipx stack can know also 'other' frames.
