    I have been using ipx to play diaoblo over a network for a while, but lately whenever i enter all zeros my ipx number 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?

    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?

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