try setting different IPX network numbers for the Ethernet_II and 802.2 frame types. see /etc/ipx.conf and the man pages in ipx package: ipx_interface(8), ipx_internal_net(8), ipx_route(8), and ipx_configure(8). more info can be found in the /usr/doc/ipx directory, and in the IPX HOWTO. if you don't need novell compatibility then get rid of the ipx, ipxripd, and ncpfs packages. btw, what does 'cat /proc/net/ipx_route' and 'cat /proc/net/ipx_interface' look like? craig -- craig sanders networking consultant Available for casual or contract temporary autonomous zone system administration tasks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
