Did you configure /etc/ipx.conf? Here's what mine looks like,
followed by my Here's my /etc/init.d/ipx (there are links in rc?.d
pointing to it /etc/init.d/ipx, of course). Note the part *before*
the ipx_configure line -- you need to configure /etc/ipx.conf,
including the 'IPX_CONFIGURED' line. I don't recall if I looked at a
man page, or just perused /etc/ and ran into ipx.conf and fumbled my
way through it.
Hope this helps,
