1. When using linuxconf to configure IPX it sets the IPXINTERNALNETNUM and IPXINTERNALNODENUM both to zero. These cause /sbin/ipx_internal_net to complain about illegal values. Numbers greater than zero work. 2. In /etc/rc.d/init.d/network /sbin/ipx_internal_net is called. According to the IPX HOTWO it is recommended not to run it. It always becomes the primary interface, not what you usually want. 3. In /etc/rc.d/init.d/network if you are using DHCP the IPX ifup-ipx script does not run because the file /etc/sysconfig/network is not sourced (it is only sourced). (The 'if [ $IPX = yes ]' fails.) thanks, john
This is fixed in the latest initscripts in Raw Hide.
