IPXwrapper is a winsock wrapper which transparently tunnels IPX packets over a
|
|
|
|
|
chosen UDP port (54792 by default). To use it, simply copy the three included
|
|
|
|
|
DLL files to the directory containing your legacy program.

Most software binds only to the default interface, if you get no errors but still
|
|
|
|
|
can't connect to other computers, try running the ipxconfig program and forcing
|
|
|
|
|
the appropriate network interface to be the primary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The other settings can usually be ignored, but some software or networking
|
|
|
|
|
configrations may require further tweaking.

Software using IPXWrapper can't communicate with software that is using the real
|
2011-04-30 16:07:42 +00:00
|
|
|
IPX protocol and vice-versa. Software using IPXWrapper 0.1 may be communicated
|
|
|
|
|
with by using 00:00:00:00 as the network number, however I recommend updating to
|
|
|
|
|
a newer version instead.

Most of winsock 1.x is implemented, but some software still may not work because
|
|
|
|
|
it uses unimpletmented functionaliy. I plan to complete winsock 1.x support
|
|
|
|
|
eventually, winsock2 is unlikely, as the API is far bigger and any winsock2
|
|
|
|
|
program should be using IP anyway.
