I tried sending this out via the mailing list but never saw it come
back and no answers so I thought I'd try via news:

  Not being very conversant with NetBios, maybe someone has an idea on 
how to proceed with this.  We have a group of ethernet lans at one site
which are connected to various ports on an AGS router.  Some of these
ethernets have Novell file servers on them which need to be accessed from
other lans which may have no file server at all.  I configured up the
IPX routing per the manual and it worked like a charm, simple and easy,
took off and ran - I keep being amazed by cisco stuff, I should have known
by now(!) 8-)

  Anyway, for the IPX stuff everything seems fine, the catch is that on
one of the file servers is a Racal-Interlan gateway.  This allows PCs to
access TCP/IP thru a file server.  The catch is that altho it uses the
Novell fileserver to store/load up the files to the pc for things like
telnet, ftp etc., the actual traffic between the telnet process on the
PC and the gateway software on the server is NetBios.  This is where I
get lost, it appears that NetBios is only bridgeable.  Is that correct?
If so, it would seem we either turn on bridging (yuck - how?) or we have
to interconnect the lans with bridges or hubs or something, we will not
be able to have different lans on different router interfaces.

  I know we could give each PC an IP address and go that route but the
gateway solves some addressing problems and makes our life (usually)
simpler. It also exists and is cheaper than some of the other schemes.
 Is there a way to get that NetBios traffic thru along with the
IPX?  Or should I be looking for another solution?

  Thanks for any help ....

   Bob

p.s.  We don't have bridging software currently, so that would be an
$1800 expense without discounts....
