More precisely - it is a routing _information_ (RIP) and services
advertising (SAP) daemon. For RIP, it maintains the kernel's IPX
routing table.

Not having the attached IPX network #'s (see your b) problem)
correctly configured will account.

This means two network segments (on eth0 and eth2) have the same
IPX network number. Different IPX networks require different IPX
network numbers, so IPX's autoconfig is complaining (with good
reason).

Examine `cat /proc/net/ipx*` and `ifconfig`. IPX info should
appear for both interfaces, with different IPX net #'s. If the
interfaces can't get valid IPX net # info, neither can ipxd.
