What is an IPX address?

IPX address fields is a 6-byte number that identifies the network adapter card in the computer. This node address is the hardware address assigned to the network adapter card by it’s vendor. For SCO IPX/SPX servers, this field is always set to 0x000000000001.

What is IPX/SPX and how does it work?

IPX/SPX or Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange was developed by Novell to be a replacement to the TCP/IP Protocol Suite. This was introduced in Novell’s networking software called Netware in the early 1980s. IPX introduced in the 1980s remained fairly popular till the 1990s.

Can I use IPX/SPX as an intranet protocol through a firewall?
