Can you send full tcpdump log here? If you want only IPX packets, you
can try ipxdump + ipxparse from ncpfs package.

And did you have only one frame (802.2) configured in Linux, or does
your Linux run with more than one frame, or in --auto_interface=on mode?

If you have more than one frame, your machine will broadcasts if someone
else (Win98) will put frame back to wire... It is correct from protocol
side (but maybe not correct from IT department point of view; that's why
I want /proc/sys/net/conf/*/forwarding and netbios_forwarding items - but
if I want them, maybe I should code them myself ;-) ).
