Hi Ben, > /sbin/ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.3 Here are the lines from my /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 that I use to set up my IPX interface: # OK, time to configure the IPX interface echo "Configuring eth0 as primary IPX interface..." echo "IPX Frame type 802.2 : IPX Network address 0x00000000" ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2 0x00000000 The 0x00000000 parameter basically tells the IPX protocol to auto-discover the address of the local IPX network. I do know that the address is 0x00000202, so I could just as well plug that value in, but autodiscovery works in this instance, and I figured why mess with it. You seem to omit the parameter entirely, and I am not sure what effect that might have. - Bill Layer Sales Technician <b.layer at vikingelectronics.com>
