If you are trying to set up IPX network, then the informations about IP network topology is irelevant. You need to know the IPX network topology, IPX network numbers and so on. I don't know what the 0x83A2C800 number is - it seems to be IP not IPX network number, but I'm not sure. You should ask your Netware server administrator. > me ... the computer I'm working on is a laptop, so will be on several > different subnets, but never on subnet 200 ... is 83a2c800 the netnum The correct IPX network number must be set to the same number as the IPX network number assigned to network avaiable on cable you are connected in. Under Windows seems to be possible set the IPX network to 0x000000 requesting autodetection of the correct value. As you know, there must be a properly configured IPX router between you and server unless your IPX adress is from the same IPX NET as server's (it is similar law as for IP) Dan -- Dan Lukes tel: +420 2 21914205, fax: +420 2 21914206 root of FIONet, KolejNET, webmaster of www.freebsd.cz AKA: dan@obluda.cz, dan@freebsd.cz,dan@kolej.mff.cuni.cz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
