Enter LOAD IPXCON at the system console prompt. You can use IPXCON
to perform the following tasks:
Monitor and troubleshoot IPX routes and network segments throughout
your IPX internetwork

internetwork

Locate all active IPX routers on your internetwork

routing software
Specific commands are available from the system console prompt that prove
useful in troubleshooting IPX connection problems. The following commands
are examples:
DISPLAY SERVERS
This command lists all known NetWare server names and the number of
hops (IPX routers that must be crossed) to reach each server. This
information is similar to the information shown in the IPXCON
forwarding table, but it is less comprehensive than IPXCON.
DISPLAY NETWORKS
This command shows the IPX network number, the number of hops
needed to reach the network, and the estimated time, in ticks (1/18 of a
second), for a packet to reach a network. The number of known networks
is shown at the end of the list. For NetWare servers, both the internal IPX
network numbers and the cabling network numbers are displayed. This
information is similar to the information shown in the IPXCON services
table, but it is less comprehensive than IPXCON.
RESET ROUTERS
This command resets the IPX routing table in the file server if the table
has become inaccurate or corrupted.
