hello.

i am a netware guy who is trying to solve a problem
that is causing some grief for users.  they just
had a BDSI netware ipx gateway machine installed.
since then, when some workstations attempt to attach
to their netware 4 server, te bsdi box responds to the
netware GET NEAREST SERVER requests and then the 
workstations can not attach to the real server (nor
are they attached to the gateway).

this problem is taking place on ipx/netx, odi/netx,
and odi/vlm stations as well as print servers.

if anyone knows how to configure the gateway to
ignore these requests, i would appreciate an email
(tom@tcm-mn.com) asap.  this is causing the users
and admins plenty of grief.

thanks in advance.
