Apologies for being a 'me-too'er, but I've had this problem too, and I'm
wondering what the solution is. These IPX conflict messages keep popping
up everywhere, making the computer just about impossible to use. For now I
just used linuxconf to disable IPX networking entirely. Not that I really
need it, but I too was wondering if there is a way to configure it so that
it works properly. Also, if it's relevant, both Collin and I run RedHat
5.1.

It is conceivable that one day, computers will be better than humans at
nearly everything. I can imagine that a person might someday have a
computer for a best friend. That will be sad--like having a dog for your
best friend but even sadder.
