Update: Near the beginning of the semester when I was trying it (around 9.0 time), ncpmount/ipx definately didn't work.
Since then, I've switched my workstations from being directly connected to the university network to being on an internal network behind a Solaris server running ipfilter for NAT. That is the reason why ncpmount/ipx *now* doesn't work. I did a fresh Mandrake install on one of the workstations that's still on the university network, and it indeed works (using the old 2.2.0.18.a package, I haven't tried my 2.2.0.19 yet). So, does anybody know of anyway to get it to work in this type of configuration? I can get it to get an ipx address if I use ipx_interface, but slist and ncpmount don't quite work, although ncpmount looks like it almost does, it gives the following: ncpmount: Cannot assign requested address when trying to find FS_APOLLO Finally, about my 2.2.0.19 package, I just noticed the /usr/bin/ncplogout symlink is screwed up, so if you update to that, be sure to fix it if I don't get to it first. --- David Walser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ncpfs-2.2.0.19-1mdk is still in incoming... > > Well I compiled a stock kernel, and it still doesn't > work.
