IPX networking doesn't appear to function. Here are a few commands, and their various error messages (Copied from command line) [root@linux /sbin]# ./ipx_interface check eth0 802.2 ./ipx_interface: socket: Invalid argument [root@linux /sbin]# ./ipx_configure --auto_interface=on --auto_primary=on ./ipx_configure: socket: Invalid argument [root@linux bin]# slist slist: Server not found (0x8847) in ncp_open [root@linux ecase]# ncpmount -S SERVER -U USER -V SYS /novell Logging into SERVER as USER Password: ncpmount: Invalid argument when trying to find SERVER I used linuxconf to change the ipx settings from autoprobed to network specific.(802.2) That didn't work. IP networking does work. I had installed RH6.1, and was able to use IPX networking, and login to netware servers.
Do you have the IPX module loaded?
Yes. The socket error also appears during startup, in the init section with green "OK"'s
I installed 6.1 + formatted HDD's. IPX works (Slist lists all the netware servers). When I upgraded (with installer) to 6.2 IPX fails. The socket error appears right before the "bringing up interface eth0 [ ok ]".
add: 'alias net-pf-4 ipx' to /etc/conf.modules.
