@ -11,39 +11,18 @@ 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.
DO NOT REPLACE THE WINSOCK DLLS THAT ARE IN YOUR WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 DIRECTORY AS
THIS WILL BREAK ALL NETWORKING SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM!
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
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.
-- CONFIGURATION --
The ipxconfig program may be used to set additional options, in most cases this is
unnecessary and the default options will work fine. All options are stored in the
registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IPXWrapper.
Interface settings:
IPX network number - If you don't know what this is, the default will be fine
IPX node number - Address of the host, defaults to the MAC address of the card
Enable interface - Sets whether IPX will be emulated for this interface
Make primary interface - Forces this interface to be the first one in the adapter list
Global settings:
UDP port - UDP port number to use for tunneling IPX packets. Everyone must
use the same port number.
Win 95 SO_BROADCAST bug - Emulate a bug in the windows 95 IPX implementation, most
software probably expects and/or relies on this bug so it is
enabled by default
Send broadcasts to all - Send broadcast packets to all subnets rather than the broadcast
subnets address of the bound interface
Filter recieved packets - Ignore packets not recieved from an enabled interface
by subnet
-- COMPATIBILITY --
Most of winsock 1.x is implemented, but some software still may not work because
