nwfs problems

[Cristian Salan]

Hi guys,
Let me reformulate the problem.

In order to mount volumes from Novell NetWare 5 using FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE, I've performed these steps:
1.  Modified and compiled the kernel adding only this line:
options  IPX
2. Added the following two lines to /boot/loader.conf:
if_ef_load="YES"
nwfs_load="YES"
although probably this is similar with compiling them into kernel.
3. Added the following two lines to /etc/rc.conf:
ipxrouted_enable="YES"
ifconfig_rl0f2_ipx="ipx 12345678"

Well, it works, but...

When the network is loaded and also a lot of activity to and from the novell server, everyhing is ok.
When there is no activity "netstat -r" show only the rl0f2 route and the novell server is inaccesible. Restarting IPXrouted is solving the problem for the moment.
I think that some tunnable options should solve the problem.
Any ideas?

Regards,
Cristian Salan
