But nwsfind is doing this. It binds to nothing but port and sends IPX brodcast
to 0x0 net. Kernel sends this packet to internal net only, since it is primary
interface. If I have no local netware server, I would never got an answer for
this packet. I agree, that there is no sence in sending this packets to
internal net only. And one more question - you told we want to change source
address to outgoing interface address (is this is doing in that 'special
mars_nwe handling' ?), but what interface should be chosen for that ? And once
more about this 'special mars_nwe handling' - we are changing the source
address for packets, that have source port set to RIP or SAP. Is it good idea ?
I mean, may be the packets with destination RIP or SAP should be rewritten as
well ?

Can't get the idea :( If I bind all of interfaces in the user code, and send
broadcasts for this networks only, how can ipx kernel route this packets to
another networks ?
Bye.
