I've got some problem with setting up IPX/SPX routing under my FreeBSD router.
What I did is install FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT and their binaries /bin /sbin 
/usr/sbin /usr/bin. 

gerlach: {3} uname -a
FreeBSD gerlach.pap.waw.pl 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Thu Dec 28 13:41:01 MET 1995     root@gerlach.pap.waw.pl:/usr/src/sys/compile/DAREKO  i386

This computer will be an IP and IPX router with 4 ethernet cards. IP routing
works just fine but I do not really know how to set up IPX routing. What I 
noticed id that there is a routing daemon named IPXrouted. But after running
it it seeems not to do anything interesting.

gerlach: {8} ps -ax | grep IPXrouted
 2203  ??  Is     0:09.81 IPXrouted -s /var/log/IPXrouted

Log file says nothing:

------- SAP table dump. -------
HASH 0
HASH 1
HASH 2
HASH 3
[...]
HASH 31
[...]
Received bogus packet from 0#0:40:95:e1:74:c9
------- SAP table dump. -------
HASH 0
HASH 1
[...]

And so on.

Please tell me what could be wrong. What is the way of bulding routing table  
for IPX.

gerlach: {14} netstat -r
Routing tables
[...]
 
IPX:
Destination      Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
gerlach: {15} 

Thats it. ;-(
