debug ipx packet will show you traffic you may be seeing (or not seeing)...
you have four encapsulations to choose from on your ipx config
(novell-ether, sap, arpa and snap), so it's not incredibly difficult to
figure it out.
For the network number, pick whatever one you want, and you'll hear a whole
bunch of netware servers (if that's what you're running IPX for) complain
about it! :)
It's not the most clean way to do it, but it works!
If you have other Cisco devices on the network, your best bet is to do "show
cdp neighbor" and look at the detail to which particular neighbor is on the
interface you're configuring. This will give you information before you
bring any layer 3 protocols up at all. Cool, huh?
And last, you could just ask someone who administers another server on the
network (grin)

Subject: Finding IPX network and encap
Can anyone think of a time-efficient way of finding the correct
IPX network and encapsulation for an interface when this isn't
given?
The only way, I can think of, is configuring a network and doing
'debug ipx packet'. That way you'll see incoming IPX traffic and
get the network number. But you'll still have to test all the
different encapsulations.
TIA,
