Thanks all.
Does makes sense now. I still like IPX better than IP for small LANs. At
least no ICMP attacks / DDOS to worry about.

Elmer,
Novell just randomly picks numbers, probably a function of the hardware's
SN, and maybe Date Time. Point is, I would prefer to use a coherent scheme
for net ID's, and would be removing any Frame types I'm not using. If you
ever add another Novell server, you MUST make sure that the new server is
set with these hardware ID's.
The best way to understand this is to read the Cisco material for CCNA on
IPX sub interfaces. It explains that each frame type must be a separate
network, and if you have older systems running Novell_ether(802.3...No LLC)
and newer ones running SAP (802.3+802.2LLC) on the same segment, you can
have the router route between sub-interfaces by encapsulating 2 sub-ifs, one
with novell_ether, and the other with sap. You do have to specify the
network ID's per sub-if.
Thank You,
Michael Ayers

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?
