The Internal IPX number is not .0001.0001.0001. The internal net number is a
unique network number assigned with the host address of .0000.0000.0001.
This is used on a router when using IPXWAN. I don't believe this is required
for NLSP. If using IPXWAN this address is used to identify neighboring
routers. I can't imagine a reason to filter this, If you did you wouldn't
get any routing updates.
Hope this helps...

Subject: IPX internal network number
It is said in Caslows book that all Novell servers internal network number
is set to .0001.0001.0001. I went through this before but am confused. What
happens if two servers are on the same segment? Wouldn't they then all have
the same internal net number? Can someone explain this internal net number
again? Is that the number that would be used if you were to filter NLSP
related traffic as Cisco routers must have one when using NLSP-?
thanks, I need a refresher here-
