Troubles with the MARS NetWare-Emulator in a network with other real Novel NetWare Servers

Hi!

I've some troubles with the MARS NetWare-Emulator in a network with
other real Novel NetWare Servers...

The Linux server where the MARS NWE is running on has:
IP: 192.168.1.2
HOSTNAME: LROUTER
Device to IPX LAN: eth0

The other Novel NetWare Servers have the names:
KSERVER
S109

To add an IPX interface to this device 'eth0' I do the following:
ipx_configure --auto_primary=on auto_interface=on
ipx_interface add eth0 802.2 7C3EF8F0:00A02454E08D

So that 'ifconfig eth0' returns that:
--- BEGIN ---
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:A0:24:54:E0:8D
          inet addr:192.168.1.2  Bcast:192.168.1.255  \
          Mask:255.255.255.0
          IPX/Ethernet 802.2 addr:7C3EF8F0:00A02454E08D
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:16427977 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:19783885 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe400
---  END  ---

Then I start the NWE so that a 'ps ax' for example returns this:
--- BEGIN ---
24783 ? S 0:00 nwbind LROUTER 7c.3e.f8.f0:0.a0.24.54.e0.8d:4.51 4052
24785 ? S 0:00 ncpserv LROUTER 7c.3e.f8.f0:0.a0.24.54.e0.8d:4.51 4052
4050
---  END  ---

But now, if I try to list the NetWare servers in the network with
'slist' the output changes permanently from one second to the other:
One time 'slist' lists this:
   --- BEGIN ---
   Known NetWare File Servers         Network   Node Address
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   KSERVER                            000000A2  000000000001
   LROUTER                            7C3EF8F0  00A02454E08D
   S109                               0FA885DC  000000000001
   ---  END  ---

And in the next second that:
   --- BEGIN ---
   Known NetWare File Servers         Network   Node Address
   ---------------------------------------------------------
   S109                               0FA885DC  000000000001
   KSERVER                            000000A2  000000000001
   ---  END  ---

And I'm not able to connect to the NW-Emulator.
(No problem with the other servers.)

'ncpmount -U [user] -S LROUTER /mnt/point' returns that:
   --- BEGIN ---
   ncpmount: Unknown server (0x89FC) when trying to find LROUTER
   ---  END  ---

Anybody an idea what there's wrong???

Thnx for your time and each answere!!!
