Each different frame type acts as a separate broadcast domain, thus they
have different network numbers.

Thanks for all the responses. This is the only IPX speaking box on the wire
and the first NW5.1 server to be brought up. I understand that it supports
and automatically loads all IPX frame types by default if IPX is chosen
along with the default and preferred IP protocol. From the replies it seems
that each frame type would belong to a DIFFERENT IPX network? Or is it just
DIFFERENT WAYS of writing out IPX network addresses depending on the frame
type used?
Again, thanks for the enlightenment.

Interesting. Why would it generate network numbers, though? Shouldn't
network numbers be manually configured?
