How did you run WINIPCFG on your linux box? &nbsp;That's a Windows 95 utility.<br />
<br />
IPX on Linux shouldn't cause a problem either, especially for the TCPIP gateway. &nbsp;Be sure you read over one of the HOWTO documents on IPX to make sure that you've got it setup correctly.<br />
<br />
There is more than one way to do Novell and you may not need IPX at all to accomplish what you need on your network. &nbsp;

I got linux on a wide area network that is novell. for some reason it took the whole network down at school. The network adminstrator said it tried to take the ip address away from the gateway router. does any one know why it would try to steel an address because the ip address I was useing was hard coded or static that my adminstrator gave me and it souldn't have done that???????
