-- INTRODUCTION --
|
||||
|
||||
ipxwrapper is a winsock wrapper which intercepts IPX socket calls and tunnels
|
||||
them over UDP, this allows you to run legacy software which uses IPX on systems
|
||||
that don't have the IPX protocol installed, it also allows you to tunnel the
|
||||
connection over IP tunneling software such as Hamachi.
|
||||
|
||||
ipxwrapper currently supports most of winsock 1.x, more of the winsock library
|
||||
will be implemented over time.
|
||||
|
||||
-- INSTALLATION --
|
||||
|
||||
To install ipxwrapper, copy the DLL files to the directory containing the legacy
|
||||
program exe, you need to do this for every program you want to tunnel.
|
||||
IPXwrapper is a winsock wrapper which transparently tunnels IPX packets over IP
|
||||
using UDP port 54792. To use it, simply copy ipxwrapper.dll, wsock32.dll and
|
||||
mswsock.dll to the directory containing your legacy program.
|
||||
|
||||
DO NOT REPLACE THE WINSOCK DLLS THAT ARE IN YOUR WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 DIRECTORY AS
|
||||
THIS WILL BREAK ALL NETWORKING SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM!
|
||||
|
||||
Software using IPXWrapper can't contact machines that are using the real IPX
|
||||
protocol, all systems must use IPXWrapper or the IPX protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
-- COMPATIBILITY --
|
||||
|
||||
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.
