The output is an IPX/SPX address similar to the following:

0000000208005a30bee9

where:

00000002

is the network number

08005a30bee9

is the node address

The IPX/SPX server address is specified in the client options file as follows:

commmethod ipxspx
ipxserveraddress  0000000208005a30bee9
ipxsocket         8522

where

8522

The default socket number of 8522 can be changed within the server options file by, for example, using the following:
