I have a copy of the howto and the MARS_NWE net ware engine for Linux.  I
compiled it and configured it.

I put "ipx_configure --auto_interface=on --auto_primary=on"
in the network startup on my machine.  I have ncpfs and can attach to
Novell server and print... slist   So I think I have ipx up.  

Now if I run nwserv it starts up and a ps -ax returns.
 2343  ?  S     0:00 nwserv
 2344  ?  D     0:00 nwbind UAF_DEV103 0.0.0.0:0.20.af.99.8a.a8:4.51 4001
 2345  ?  S     0:00 ncpserv UAF_DEV103 0.0.0.0:0.20.af.99.8a.a8:4.51 4001
Which looks a little strange to me.  what is the 0.0.0.0 stuff....  
If the /etc/nwserv.conf file has
4  0x39a01010  eth0  802.3  1
at the same time slist returns
slist: Connection timed out in ncp_initialize

Now if I shutdown the NWE-SERVER and
take out the eth0 802.3 line and restart I get a ps -ax of
2395  ?  S     0:00 nwserv
2396  ?  S     0:01 nwbind UAF_DEV103 0.0.0.0:0.20.af.99.8a.a8:4.51 400b
2397  ?  S     0:00 ncpserv UAF_DEV103 0.0.0.0:0.20.af.99.8a.a8:4.51 400b
Now a slist on my linux box shows  a lot of Novell servers including mine...
UAF_ATLANTIS                                        0000006B  000000000001
UAF_CHEM                                            31041EE1  000000000001
UAF_COLUMBIA                                        0000002B  000000000001
UAF_DEV103                                          00000000  0020AF998AA8
UAF_DISCOVERY                                       0000010B  000000000001
UAF_HYPERION                                        AF1A71AA  000000000001
UAF_MARINER                                         0000007B  000000000001
UAF_URANUS                                          00BAAAAA  000000000001
UAF_VOYAGER1                                        0000013B  000000000001
UAF_VYGER                                           0000001F  000000000001
UAS_MAINT                                           000000CC  000000000001
YUKON                                               00000911  000000000001
(this is a reduced list...)
However It is invisable to the rest of the network...  I use my dos box
next to me to check.  It sees all the other machines but not UAF_DEV103...

Do I need to somehow turn on SAP or add a route???  If someone could
help..

Thanks to some help from a local Novell expert I fixed my line in the
nwserver.config to say
 4  0x15  eth0  802.3  1  

The 0x15 is my subnet.  After that I had to go ask someone to do a
display servers on a novell server... ?  I thought I should be saping and
that would take care of the problem...  

For now it works but anyone know if saps need to be set or how?


If you know how to set the from on this thing please tell me.  RJH
