There's an IPX overbroadcasting problem with all currently released versions of 2.2.x... very nasty, in my experience (saturates the network *very* quickly, crashed some switches, etc.). If you're willing to compile a custom kernel, check out the 2.2.13pre1 patch at your favourite kernel.org mirror. It includes a small update to net/ipx/af_ipx.c which is intended to correct that problem.
When I tried it out, it did indeed correct the problem for me. Unfortunately I seem to have stumbled onto another IPX problem, but I suspect it to be an unrelated issue.
