Okay, now I really do have a question about this.

I have a RH5 box serving ipx; when I type slist on that box, it finds
itself like so:

[michael@alice michael]$ slist

Known NetWare File Servers                          Network   Node
Address
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALICE                                               C0A80126
000000000001


We don't have any actual NetWare servers on our LAN, but we do have some
M$ machines exporting drives over IPX, and as you can see they aren't
showing up.

I can go to another machine and see alice via tcp/ip, and I can mount my
home directory via samba, but on a machine which only has IPX and no
tcp/ip, alice isn't visible.  The slist command from another ipx-enabled
linux box also fails to see alice or any other IPX-serving machine in
our office.

Is this a frame type issue?  I have my frame setting in /etc/nwserv.conf
set to autodetect, but maybe the absence of a real Novell server means
that there's nothing to detect from?  Does anybody know what the default
frame type is under Windows95 or DOS7?

In case it matters, I'll throw in alice's nwserv.conf file, minus all
the comments and the "you probably don't want to change anything below
this line" section:

1       SYS     /var/mars_nwe/sys       rk
1       CDROM           /mnt/cdrom                  kmr
1       TECH            /home/tech      k
2       ALICE
3       auto    1
4       0x0     *       AUTO    1
5       0
6       0
7       0
10      99
11      99

12  SUPERVISOR   adm    *

13      TECH    tech

If it would be helpful, I can also forward printouts of the
/proc/net/ipx* files.

TIA,
