dear all, this is kind of esoteric, but i'll ask it anyway ... i'm writing a program to ping a bunch of servers. it's done, except we have a bunch of netware machine which know IPX, not IP. i found an RPM of a utility named "ipxping". i converted it into deb (no problems) and installed the package. however, i'm getting non-sensical output: # ipxping 00:00:00:04 00:80:5F:E6:4A:72 bind: Cannot assign requested address i'm not sure why it wants to bind the requested address. that's just plain wierd. in the README file, the author (who actually ported it from a sun program) mentions that he wants to hear from people using the program. unfortunately, he doesn't give an address. i even ran strings on the binary and original rpm. no email address. so now i'm fresh out of ideas. can some creative soul tell me how i can see if a netware system is alive? i would REALLY appreciate it! pete
