[SLE] SuSE 9.0 and IPX help needed
Hello All, I need some help setting up the SUSE 9.0 to route IPX also. I have a SuSE/firewall/GW setup where some computer behind the firewall needs to access a NOVELL server and they only want to use IPX. 1) Is SuSE 9.0 kernel is compiled with IPX support ? 2) if yes can I configure the firewall to to forward IPX packet? Thanks for any help. |__|___|___|__\\|// - ?__|___|_____|___|_____| |__|___|___|__(o o)______|___|_____|___|_____| |__|___|___oOOO(_)OOOo____|___|_____|___|_____| email : ephlodur@rocketmail.com What we need is Awareness we can't get carelless. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi All, Is it true that since the take-over by Novell and since version 9.1 through 10.1 IPX is no longer supported? If i do a lsmod to list the kernel modules there is a mention of IPX loaded. However if i configure nwserv.conf in 10.1 the way i used to do it in 9.0 it only gives an unknown error like no such file. I am new at 10.1 so may i ask what other degradations i might expect?

I have no idea, but I doubt it.

You'll need to investigate that a bit further - it could be a mere typo. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
thanks for your reply In 9.0 without making any changes to nwserv.conf one could enable ipx with the command rcnwe start in later versions (with kernel 2.6) under identical conditions rcnwe start invokes an error insmod -k ................ no such file clearly the package is not there while it is loaded -- very big question mark???--- as is shown with lsmod The question remains What options and kernel modules are available and ""supported by the kernel"" as root or any other user and not present and inaccessable for me Fyi I have installed suse 9.0 through 10.1 and have noticed that in kernel 2.6 ipx is """present""" yet unavailable How many typo's can one make in rcnwe start Thanks Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Per Jessen" <per@computer.org> To: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 3:20 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 10.1 and IPX help needed

Sounds reasonable.
in later versions (with kernel 2.6) under identical conditions rcnwe start invokes an error insmod -k ................ no such file clearly the package is not there
According to the manpage, there is no '-k' option for insmod. The modules is there, but cannot be loaded: insmod ipx insmod: can't read 'ipx': No such file or directory insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-20-smp/kernel/net/ipx/ipx.ko insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.16-20-smp/kernel/net/ipx/ipx.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module The symbols not found are make_8023_client and destroy_8023_client. OK, the problem is that the script uses insmod instead of modprobe. The ipx module also neds the p8023 module. Try editing the init-script and do "modprobe ipx" instead of "insmod -k ipx". And open a bugreport. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
