Hi, Is anyone using ipxping? From my rh6.1 PC I configured the kernel to recognise ipx, and slist will show me Novell file servers around the site. However, what I want to do is incorporate a sort of 'ping for IPX' with the Big Brother monitoring software. I found ipxping but can't seem to get it to work - I should add that I know nowt about IPX really. Using slist I see (for example): CSTE02 000CEF02 000000000001 CSUFD1 0000CFD1 000000000001 BS_FS2 000000B2 000000000001 However, when I use ipxping I get: ipxping 00:0C:EF:02 00:00:00:00:00:01 ipxping packet send. Time out. Or I get the error: ipxping 00:00:E2:17 00:A0:24:6C:34:AA ipxping packet send. error: ipx_recv: Invalid argument Can anyone give me a clue about this? The Servers are mainly running Novell 4.11, some are still at 3.122 I think, and possibly one or two at Netware 5. Many thanks, John. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Finger for PGP key: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
