Strange Ipx Problem

[Chame1eon]

I have been using ipx to play diaoblo over a network for a while, but lately whenever i enter all zeros my ipx number :blink: is immedialetly changed to a random number . I just installed Mirc, and bittorent, and a few video editing programs. I had some viruses, but norton found them right away and got rid of the, a full system scans doesn't show any problems. does anyone have any idea of what is happening?
:blink:

I installed a firewall and and in the few minutes since it has been up somethig from an ip adress that i don't recognise hs tried to access the nwlnkipx.sys file in my windows/system32/drivers/ folder about 95,628 times. I uninstalled ipx. does anyone know what this means? :unsure:

A lot of older windows games use ipx to run over a network.
