We have been experiencing some weird problems.  I think that they are related
but maybe not.

We have ip forwarding turned on and have bound ip and ipx to one
interface and just ip to the other.  Things seem to work mostly okay,
but when we try to make an NFS connection across the server it hangs
when we try to read a large file. Small files worked okay. Through 
experimentation, we discovered that setting wsize and wsize to 1360 solved
the problem.  Only we have since discovered that FTP and printing seem to 
have a problem with large files.  Printing may be solved by the new
version of pserver.nlm but I don't know what is going on
with the other protocols.  It seems to me that the server doesn't route
fragmented packets correctly.

Just a couple of other hints:
	Under the tcpip monitor, ipReasmReqds: 11119
				 ipReasmOKs:   0
				 ipReasmFails: 11059
however, the number does not increase when we have a NFS or FTP 
fail.

	Netstat -r on a client machine shows increasing fragment received's
and increasing fragments dropped after timeout during the bad connections.

Any ideas?  

Also, what does DOSNP do?
