Edit your AUTOEXEC.NCF file (in SYS:SYSTEM) and add the option
"frame=ethernet_ii" to the command line where you load your network
card driver.  (If there is already a frame= command, remove it.)
That will econfig the server.

If you would like to run supporting both protocols, duplicate your
current load line, add the frame=ethernet_ii command to the second,
use "name=" to rename one of them, and bind IPX to both.  For example:

     ...
   load 3c503 memory=c8000 port=300 int=3 name=ETH_802.3
   load 3c503 memory=c8000 port=300 int=3 frame=ethernet_ii name=ETH_II
   bind ipx to ETH_802.3
   bind ipx to ETH_II
     ...

This example loads the 3c503 driver once for each frame type, using a
single network card for both.  It then tells the server to use the
IPX protocol for both.  This lets you use both packet driver and non-
packet driver computers to speak to the server at once.

For your other question, you don't need to econfig the packet driver
version of IPX.  The econfigging is implicit.  You only need to econfig
the IPX file if it is a non-packet driver IPX.  With what I describe
above, you don't even need to do that.
