I'm taking an educated guess that you have a second server on the BNC cable
you are attaching to the hub.  (The second server could be something
unsuspicious such as an NT box claiming an IPX network number). If so the
following may help. If not disregard...

Each network has its own external IPX number associated with it.
With two NICs in the server each NIC would have had a different 'external
network number' associated with it.

If one of the devices on your present BNC cable is a server previously
connected to the other network (the disconnected NIC) it could still be
using the other network number. Two devices are now claiming the same
cable-frame_type combination. Each is trying to assign it a different number
resulting in constant error messages. Change the network number that the
second server is using to match that already asigned to the network.

Good Luck
