The IPXWAN network number is only used in the ipxwan packet exchanges and
does not get propagated. The network number can be different on either end
. The router that is the master will dictate the actual network number used
in the exchange.
For instance, R1 is configured as ipx ipxwan a1 14 R1, R4 is configured as
ipx ipxwan a4 144 R4, NLSP is enabled, RIP/SAP are disabled. R4 with the
higher internal address (a4 vs. a1) will become the master and will dictate
that 144 is the network number to be used in ipxwan packets. In the R1 ipx
route table, 144 is the W network. From R1 an IPX ping to
144.0000.00a4.0000 works as does a ping to 144.0000.00a1.0000 in the other
direction. Use sh ipx interface to see the addresses and the master-slave
relationship.
R3 is another NLSP router and does not see either 14 or 144 as you observed
in your original note. This is normal.
Debug below captured on r4.

This follows the diagram on p.447 of Chappell, Novell's Guide to LAN/WAN

Hope this answers your original question.
