Subject: IPX routing in 2.2-960130-SNAP

We are running the  2.2-960130-SNAP which seems to have IPX support. We 
are using the FeeBSD box as a router and REALLY need IPX routing (or 
bridging). Here's what's happening can anyone shed any light on the 
subject??

The kernel has been compiled with the "options IPX" flag.

A netstat -r shows IP routes but only the IPX header (ie. no IPX routes).

We are running IPXrouted -s -t

IP routing works successfully. All IPX gets discarded with the following
messages from IPXrouted: 
 
received bogus packet from 521#0:0:a2:81:59:37
received bogus packet from 521#0:0:a2:81:59:37
received bogus packet from 521#0:0:c0:d5:e4:9d
received bogus packet from 521#0:0:a2:81:59:37
...

All external IPX traffic comes through a wellfleet router and all local
traffic from a Netware 4.10 server. All Netware systems have been running
successfully for ages. 

Is there some sort of permission problem where the BSD box thinks Netware
traffic is coming from an invalid/unauthorised host? Do I have to add the 
server/router entries to any files (eg. hosts/networks/etc.)? 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Brad. (email: brad@fit.qut.edu.au)
