-- INTRODUCTION --
|
|
|
|
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!
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
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.
