RE: IPX internal network number.......Hmm.......

That's interesting. I'm not a Novell guy but I recall having to change this
number on a few occasions in order to make a box 'work'.
If I have two NetWare servers, each with a single NIC, attached to the same
segment, would the internal network number need to be set to the same value
on each box? Someone please educate me on this.

Hmm.. Will a NetWare server advertise a route to the internal network via
connected interfaces configured for ipx rip? Will the type 4 and 7 SAP's
appear as if they are on the internal network or the nearest outbound
connected interface of the NetWare server?

Would I ever need to filter on this number?

Thanks,

-Derek

I don't believe the Internal IPX network number is .0001.0001.0001. I think
it is x.0000.0000.0001 where x is the Internal IPX network number and 1 is
the associated MAC for it. You cannot/should not have two servers using the
same internal IPX network number. If you do the servers will not function
properly.
