Close control streams from CPortMapAction and CFilterAction when plumbing a new link stream to avoid OT errors when using MacIP.

Aug 2, 1999 (1.4c19)
DHCP: Several bug fixes: (1) Use time on existing lease if any for Discover/Request sequence or Request from client in INIT-REBOOT state; (2) Extend lease time if client is RENEWING or REBINDING even if client doesn't explicitly request more time; (3) Send NACK in response to verify (Request from client in INIT-REBOOT) if requested address is not valid for this network; (4) Allow static configs to override existing lease assignments; (5) Do not send address time option for DHCP inform; (6) Reclaim Client_ID lease bindings for IP addresses that are no longer in the dynamic pool so these clients will get a new valid lease; (7) Added delete button to DHCP Status pane to manually remove old lease bindings.
Filter Window: Changed "pass" filter action to ignore datagrams that don't match since it is easy to block such datagrams with other filters. This allows pass filters to open holes in a set of "block" filters without blocking datagrams that don't match any filter. Increase maximum number of filter entries from 30 to 50.
July 29, 1999 (1.4c18.1)

DHCP Server: reduce grace period for expired leases from 5 to 2 minutes.
General: Shorten recovery time when Provider Closes unexpectedly (DHCP lease expires), wait one second and then open an endpoint to block until a new lease is established.
General: Use OT Configuration Database if available instead of modifying TCP/IP Preferences File directly to insert Proxy module. Perform this operation at application startup before opening any endpoints since it may rebuild the TCP/IP configuration (pressing Option during startup will force the stack to rebuild).
General: always terminate threads the same way to avoid a possible race condition when quiting the application while PPP is connected.
General: make version number and version strings more consistent.
General: Fix PowerPlant LInterruptSafeList to work with future MacOS version.

Fixed IP Masquerading to not update the UDP checksum when checksums are
not being used. This prevented WhatRoute from seeing the final target of

entry. This means unauthorized or invalid packets will be discarded, but also
means protocols that require additional custom translation support will
no longer work from the gateway machine when IP Masquerading is enabled.
Fixed Remove interface to properly disable IP Masquerading.
December 10, 1997 (0.9a7)
Enhanced support for cable modem configurations.
Fixed bug in IP Masquerading ping.

name, and the corresponding port name is found and displayed in the
Configure Interface window. This should resolve problems with
Save and Restore.
