== IPXWRAPPER README == -- LICENSE -- Copyright (C) 2008-2011 Daniel Collins <solemnwarning@solemnwarning.net> Read license.txt for licensing terms. -- INTRODUCTION -- 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 communicate with software that is using the real IPX protocol and vice-versa. -- 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 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.
