The IPX network numbers in the head and branch offices are specified to the
respective remote sides.
The three required network numbers are designated as “External Network
Numbers” by the IPX conventions. Like IP network addresses, the apply to an
entire LAN segment. On the other hand, internal IPX numbers are used to
address specific Novell servers in the LAN. All three specified network num-
bers must be distinct from one another and from all used internal IPX network
numbers.
In addition, it may be necessary to enter the frame type (“binding”).
Specifying the IPX network number and binding used is not necessary if the
remote network also contains a Novell server. It is only necessary to enter the
network number for the WAN manually in this case.

Settings for NetBIOS routing
NetBIOS routing can be set up quickly: All that is required in addition to the
information for the TCP/IP protocol used is the name of a Windows workgroup
from in the router's own LAN.
Remote Windows workgroups do not appear in the Windows Network
Neighbourhood, but can only be contacted directly (e.g. via Find
Computers).
