We have a problem with IPX broadcasts on our network. At one time, our
company used Netware Servers, and because we had two offices connected
via a private line T1, the consultant that setup the routers enabled
IPX. We have since move away from Netware and now use Windows
exclusively. I was told that I needed to disable IPX on both routers
to reduce IPX broadcasts on our network. I'm not that familiar with
the IOS software and commands, and I looking for some help on turning
IPX off. I've listed the current running config of one of the two
routers (Cisco 2600 is the config. We also have a Cisco 1600). I know
that I have to issue a "no ipx routing" command, but I'm wondering if
I have to remove the other IPX instances Ethernet0/0.1 and
Ethernet0/0.2, and well as on the Serial0/0 interface. There is also
an "ipx router eigrp 1" line that I assume needs to be deleted as
well. One other thing, being that this is going to be done on one
router at a time, will disabling IPX on the first router have any
effect on the other one that still has it enabled? The other location
is 50 miles away, and I would have to travel there to remove IPX from
the other Router. Thanks.

Okay. I figured it out. I just ran "no ipx routing" and all was okay
with the world. Thanks.
