These are the results: (no filesystems mounted normally) polypc55:/proc/net$ cat ipx Local_Address Remote_Address Tx_Queue Rx_Queue State Uid polypc55:/proc/net$ cat ipx_interface Network Node_Address Primary Device Frame_Type 001D8022 00D0B71862E3 Yes eth0 802.2 polypc55:/proc/net$ cat ipx_route Network Router_Net Router_Node 001D8022 Directly Connected This is with routing options: # routing options IPX_SERVER_ROUTE=no # setup route to external server? IPX_SERVER_NETNUM= # your server's internal network number IPX_SERVER_NODENUM= # your server's node number This is independent of running the 2.2.15 kernel or the 2.4.1 kernel. I'd love to test this with the 2.4.2-ac5 kernel, but I'm afraid these IT guys WILL disconnect our switch this time if it doesn't work :( They think we've just recently tried out IPX and that they found out about our 'crime'. In reality we've been running this for almost 4 years now without them noticing anything. However, I could give it a try at night..... Is there any way in which I can see for myself if my box is starting to forward broadcasts? -Johan. > > /me looks, I've submitted it to David Miller and its on vger CVS, > think I'll post it here and ask Alan to include it in ac series as well. > > humm, nice, I think that my patches entered 2.4.2-ac under zerocopy cover > 8) So yes, please try 2.4.2-ac5 and let us know if you still have problems, > FWIW I'm now working on having the IPX routing tables with reference > counters and looking for bugs in the routing part, if anybody here have > test cases for bugs in IPX, routing or not, I'm all ears. > > - Arnaldo > - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
