I have not been able to find the original posting; perhaps to a different mail list. I am mounting nwfs on freebsd versions 4.5 to 4.8. The details of how to do this a not easy to find -- even when I've done it before. I think I originally only found the way through a query to this mailing list. At least for FBSD 4.x it is necessary to generate additional pseudo interfaces derived from the fxp0 (or whatever your base interface is) interface each dedicated to a particular IPX variant. This is done with the pseudo-device ef in the kernel configuration or you should be able to use the loadable module if_ef.ko. Take a look at the man page ef(4). Now configure with # ifconfig fxp0f2 ipx 0x00010010 or whatever the appropriate variant is in your case or if you are not sure you should be able to fire up all 4 variants I have actually included this in the kernel configuration with: options IPX #IPX/SPX communications protocols options NCP #NetWare Core protocol pseudo-device ef # Multiple ethernet frames support options ETHER_II # enable Ethernet_II frame options ETHER_8023 # enable Ethernet_802.3 (Novell) frame options ETHER_8022 # enable Ethernet_802.2 frame options ETHER_SNAP and then in rc.conf you could use : ifconfig_fxp0f2_ipx="ipx 0x00010010" Malcolm Kay _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
