RE: IPX Node Address Question

Using the command "ipx routing 1.1.1" only assigns the node address of 1.1.1
to non-MAC interfaces (i.e. Serial). I would guess that if you wanted all
node addresses on the router to be 1.1.1, you would change the MAC address
on each LAN interface to 1.1.1... Correct me if I am wrong anybody???

Subject: IPX Node Address Question

To avoid using the MAC address as the IPX address, I use "ipx routing 1.1.1"
(on Router 1). Under the interface, "ipx network 11". On remote routers
"show ipx route" sometimes shows 11.0001.0001.0001, and sometimes shows
11.0000.302b.34ae.

How can I ALWAYS assign the IPX router ID as 1.1.1?

Question 2: I am able to ping ipx 11.1.1.1 if it's ipx address was
propegated as 11.1.1.1, but when it is propegated with it's MAC, I can't
ping 11.0000.302b.34ae from distant routers. How can I ping every IPX
address from anywhere in the network?

Thanks, Kym.
