The Caslow book says on p.498:
each network server is assigned a unique internal IPX network
number with a NODE address of 0000.0000.0001.

As an example DEADBEEF.0000.0000.0001 would be a server with
an internal network number of DEADBEEF. The server NIC will
be on another IPX network, say 1000.

You will be able to ping the server with the command
 ping ipx deadbeef.0.0.1 (Note that you must do a Novell
echo not a cisco ipx ping - use the global configuration command ipx
ping-default novell to set this.)
