    Setting Up IPX using ipx_interface

    Ok... lets say I want to set up a primary IPX interface on eth1 using 802.2 with an address of 0x00000002

    I type in the command
    ipx_interface add -p eth1 802.2 0x00000002

    and I get problems.. specifically:

    "ipx_interface: socket: Invalid argument"

    what am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance,
    gus

    Anyone? I'm trying the Linux IPX Howto and it's not helping one bit... it assumes that the above command will go off without a hitch... So, I'm stuck... I'd like to get this set up.

    Thanks,

    I figured it out in case you are interested.. IPX support isn't loaded in the kernel with RH 6.2 regular install.. So, i just typed "modprobe ipx" and then installed my primary network address and was on my way.

    Pretty simple, but might help someone else out there.
