2.
In the Address field, type the IPX address of the remote device, in
hexadecimal or decimal notation.
An IPX address consists of a 4-byte network address and a 6-byte host
address, separated by a period (for example, 0x0000AB12.0x000000CD1234
[leading zero padding is not required]). 0x indicates that the address is in
hexadecimal notation.
An IPX address in decimal notation consists of a 4-byte network address and
a 6-byte host address, where each byte is a number between 0 and 255,
inclusive, and each byte is separated from the next byte by a period (for
example, 0.1.23.47.0.0.0.1.2.55).
Note: If you issue an IPX ping to an entity on a token ring network, you must
enter the host portion of the IPX address in byte-swapped (noncanonical)
form.
