I finally feel qualified to comment on a question on this list (having
worked with NetWare for the past 6 years)
The addresses you're seeing are generated automatically. What's happening
here is that the new server has every single Ethernet frame type loaded, and
as a result is using different IPX network number for every frame type. New
3.x and 4.x servers will do this if you perform an install using all the
defaults. You need to run INSTALL (or NWCONFIG if 5.x), edit the
AUTOEXEC.NCF and remove all BIND statements referencing frame types you
don't want to use. Ethernet_II is preferred.
NetWare 5.x is more restrained and tries to use IP only.

Those were either auto generated, or picked up from reading frames on the
wire.

Subject: IPX Network addresses [7:11990]
hi, group.
I just noticed that after installing NetWare server, it gave me this info
regarding types of IPX frames:
Frame type Network address
Ethernet_802.2 3D410DCD
Ethernet_802.3 1E0F4F9E
Ethernet_SNAP FF994BB0
Ethernet_II D393B805
For the IPX gurus in the group, can someone tell me if there is some type of
logic as to how the network address is translated from the type of frame
used?
Just to answer my curiosity.
Thank you.
