I've recently dealt with this issue with someone else here. Though Linuxconf seems to correctly set up IPX networking (try running ifconfig after boot up and you'll see it's settings for your ethernet card)... It doesn't seem to autoprobe the network correctly. I find that I have to set up and run MARS-NWE first to "tickle" Linux into dealing with IPX. Once Mars-NWE is running slist continues NOT to work until NCPMOUNT is executed correctly the first time. Thereafter SLIST works fine and displays the local Mars/Netware server as well as any remotes which may be found. I've also found that Netware also fails to see the IPX packets coming from Linux/IPX defining it's frame usage, until Mars and NCPmount are used. Once done everything is normal. -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Todd Zashin Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 6:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] RE: Linux to Netware File Server box connectivity problems. Hi all. I am new to this list and have a nagging question. Please help. I am running Linux Mandrake 8.0 Freq2 kernel 2.4.5-5mdk on a Pentium 200 64meg machine with 8gig HD Trident video card hooked to a vga monitor. Here is what ails my Linux machine. At work, we have a Netware 5.0 FS. I want to be able to mount a folder/directory on my Linux box from my Netware File Server because I have several folders on the File Server that I use throughout my day to day activities. I would like to save files from my Linux box to and from my home folder on the Netware box. So, I went out and installed ncpfs and ipxutils from the 2 cd set. Read the complicated HOWTO. I also made sure to first go out on the web and search on rpmfind (I think) the dependencies needed before I could run these packages. So, I installed those dependencies (one really - I had the rest) before installing the two other packages. Once the packages were installed, I went into Linuxconf and chose to make IPX enabled with auto configure on everything cause I am lazy. :) Then I went to my prompt and typed slist and got Server (0x8847) not found in ncp_open. So, then I typed ipx_configure --auto off (I forgot those two commands at the moment but maybe that is because of my frustration at this point :) Then I typed ipx_interface delall and then ipx_interface add -p eth0 802.2 Same thing/error happened when I typed slist. I thought maybe I need to put the IPX HEX network address of the Netware File Server after 802.2 and when I do I get unrecognizable network address error (something like this). I have also tried the internal network address to no avail also. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG! UGH! I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ipxutils and the ncpfs packages to no avail. I have gone into Linuxconf and switched everything back to the way it was before I started this whole adventure. I have done an ipxdump and I see something on my monitor - not legible but packet traffic is occurring and 802.2 is identified. So, I have tried and tried and tried and now I am turning to you all for help. I have installed ipxutils 2.2.0.18.a-3mdk and ncpfs of the same version. Should I maybe try an older version of these packs? Is my kernel too recent? I searched on Google.com and a lot of people have been complaining about this issue but I do not see solutions. Is there any? Is Mandrake doing anything to respond to this problem? My Netware box is configured with one physical NIC but has two protocols...IPX/SPX and TCP/IP TCP/IP is on EtherII and IPX/SPX is on 802.2 the internal network is currently mapped to the ETHERII device Your help is much appreciated and I am thankful for it. I hope this was not too long but, I wanted to give as much info as I know because I really need to get this done.
