To resolve name conflicts, you must check all NetWare servers, Windows NT servers and workstations, Windows 95 workstations, and print servers for their name information. To resolve address conflicts, you should ensure that each server has been assigned a unique internal IPX address and that these addresses do not conflict with the internal IPX addresses assigned to network segments. Next, you should check the IPX addresses that have been assigned to each network interface board in each server. All servers that share a connected segment must have the same IPX address assigned to that segment. Each nonconnected segment must have a unique IPX address.
Nonconnected segments attach to only one server.
To understand how address conflicts can occur, look at Figure 1 . Segment 1 in Server 1 has an IPX address of 1, and segment 2 in Server 1 has an IPX address of 2. Because segment 2 in Server 1 connects to server 2, the network interface board for that segment in server 2 must also use an IPX address of 2. The other segment in server 2 is a nonconnected segment and requires a unique IPX address. If you assigned this segment an IPX address of 1, you would cause an IPX addressing conflict.
