I don't know if you're trying to connect to a netware server, but . . . Back in the old-old days of FreeBSD 4.6 or so, I connected to a netware (4-something, IIRC) server using ipx/spx & ncp (options IPX, options NCP, options NWFS) & it seemed to work pretty well. But I haven't used it since 6.x, & I no longer connect to any netware machines, so I have no idea if it sill works. I believe at the time it may have also required "options LIBMCHAIN" & "options FLOWTABLE", but that might have been a local issue. In the local network, I also had to have ethernet frames compiled in with at a minimum 8023 & SNAP support (& I think ETHER_II for sap/rip): device ef options ETHER_II options ETHER_8023 options ETHER_8022 options ETHER_SNAP (the ifconfig lines get ridiculous after a while) I also believe that nwfs.ko & libmchain.ko could be loaded as modules, but that ncp didn't play nicely when loaded as a module & ipx/spx had to be compiled into the kenel. Good luck. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that IPX was dropped from FreeBSD and is no longer supported. The code went unmaintained for too long and succumbed to bit rot, so eventually it was pulled. What I am unclear about is exactly when this happened. It wasn't all that long ago. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

have a look at /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES and/or
/usr/src/sys/{amd64,i386}/conf/NOTES for more information about kernel options

How does freebsd supports ipx?
Hi,all: I read from wikipedia that freebsd supports ipx. But when I tried to set ipx address on em0，it showed the following message: freebsd-yc# ifconfig em0 ipx (netnum.nodenum) ifconfig: socket(family 23,SOCK_DGRAM: Protocol not supported And as I furher trussed the ifconfig process, I found this was probably caused by the failure of the socket syscall: freebsd-yc# truss ifconfig em0 ipx netnum.nodenum .. socket(PF_IPX,SOCK_DGRAM,0) ERR#43 'Protocol not supported' .. In contrast however, when calling "socket(PF_IPX,SOCK_DGRAM,0)" on Linux, it will automatically load the ipx kernel module and the socket syscall returns successfully. But I don't find any ipx module in /boot/kernel/ on freebsd. So I wonder how does freebsd supports ipx? Is there any other work I should do for this purpose? And if this isn't the most appropriate list for this question, please let me know.
