    Abstract: A method of automatically determining a number of an IPX network without user intervention. Initially, the client locates on a network an IPX packet containing a predetermined destination Ethernet address.

For a service advertising protocol or a routing information protocol, the client extracts the network number from said IPX packet if an IPX header source network number equals an IPX header destination number and the network number is not zero.
