By default, the Network Address FFFFFFFE is taken by IPX default route. What you gotta do is to disable this in global configuaration mode. The command is "NO IPX DEFAULT-ROUTE". Turn this off and then you will be able to assign network FFFFFFFE.

Any IPX pros, feel free to jump in. By the way, I found several pages on www.cisco.com, some said FFFFFFFE is the upper limit, some said FFFFFFFD.
