After sending my last post ("IPX still no-go"), I thought maybe I hadn't
thrown in enough config information. So here's everything but the
kitchen sink.
I have two RH5/intel machines plugged into the same hub; I know that
they can see each other over IP, since I usually have a telnet window
open on machine B from machine A.
Machine A: "fred"
from /etc/nwserv.conf (comments omitted):
1 SYS /var/mars_nwe/sys rk
1 CDROM /mnt/cdrom kmr
2 FRED
3 auto 1
4 0x0 eth0 802.3 1 #<--Trying this
with frame type auto, 802.2 or ethernet_ii hasn't worked either
5 0
6 0
7 0
10 99
11 99
12 SUPERVISOR adm *
15 99 top-secret
16 1
21 LP SYS:/PRINT/LP lp
from /proc/net/ipx_interface:
Network Node_Address Primary Device Frame_Type
C0A80103 000000000001 Yes Internal None
00000000 00A02483587D No eth0 802.3
When I furst run nwserv, it only adds the first line above (the internal
interface); I have to add the eth0 interface manually. I don't know why
it's skipping my "4" line in nwserv.conf, but there aren't any errors
showing up in the log file.

Plugged into the same hub is another RH5 machine with identical settings
and behavior, which also can see itself with slist but can't see
anything else. Its ouput from slist and /proc/net/ipx_interface looks
the same with different network numbers:
[root@alice /etc]# cat /proc/net/ipx_interface
Network Node_Address Primary Device Frame_Type
C0A80126 000000000001 Yes Internal None
00000000 00A024155D87 No eth0 802.3
[root@alice /etc]# slist

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALICE C0A80126

Elsewhere on our net (same hub and several others) are several 95 and NT
machines all of which can see each other over IPX using autodetect frame
types (I don't know what the "autodetect" is deciding to use, and
neither does anybody else here) but none of which can see either of my
Linux boxes over IPX (although they can see them over IP).
I'm using the version of mars_nwe that came with RH5, no mods outside of
what's listed above.
Can someone please take a look at this? I really need to make ipx work
(damn 95) and I'm at a dead end. Even hints as to what MIGHT be wrong
gratefully accepted. I know people have this working, so there must
just be something dumb that I'm doing. Right? Right?
Is there a packet sniffer for IPX? Would it even help?
