Installation Instructions:
1. Backup each NLM, MSG, SCR, MDC, and LAN file.
2. Copy the new NLM, SCR, MDC, and LAN files to the SYS:\SYSTEM
directory.
For NetWare 3.12, copy LLC8022.NLM from the 3X subdirectory into
the SYS:\SYSTEM directory.
For NetWare 4.1, copy LLC8022.NLM from the 4X subdirectoy into
the SYS:\SYSTEM directory.
3. Copy the new MSG files to the SYS:\SYSTEM\NLS\4 directory.
Solution Specifics:
AppleTalk:
Resolves problems resulting in a hung or aborted print job for
applications using the AppleTalk 3.x APIs.
Fixes a problem that might cause an invalid DDP checksum of
0xFFFF to be transmitted when DDP checksums are enabled.
AURP:
Now waits up to 5 minutes for transmissions to complete before
unloading. This prevents a server from abending because
transmissions are still pending when AURP is unloaded.
ADSP:
Corrects a problem where a NetWare 4.10 server abended because
ADSP released an invalid memory resource.
BRIDGE,BRGLANM and PARSER:
Allows bridging to work concurrently over X.25 and Frame Relay.
DMGMT:
Corrects an abend on Pentium* processors.
INETCFG:
Improves support of NetWare for Macintosh load commands when
converting to the INETCFG database.
IPXCFG:
Corrects a problem where the frame type is set incorrectly for
IPX if the default is not selected.
IPXRTR:
Corrects a problem with load balancing. If you want to use load
balancing, set the Maximum Number of Path Splits parameter under
the Expert IPX Protocol Options to a value greater than 1. A new
SET command has been added for additional configuration of load
balancing when a server has multiple bindings to the same LAN
without going through a router. The syntax of the new SET
command is as follows:
SET LOAD BALANCE LOCAL LAN = <OFF/ON>
The default state is OFF.
This SET command should be used in the following instances:
- Turn on load balancing if a server is connected to a LAN
through multiple interfaces and the interfaces are either on the
same media or attached to different ports of a switch.
- Turn off load balancing if a server has multiple interfaces to
two segments of the same LAN that is also bridged.
NOTE: The values 0, -1, and -2 are reserved and should never be
assigned as IPX network numbers.
Corrects a problem where the SAP from a print server was not
aged out if RIP and SAP were operating in AUTO mode.
Prevents an abend that occurs if an SPX application sends a
packet to the internal network and load balancing for the local
LAN is turned on using the SET command described above.
Adds a feature that enables NLSP to switch automatically from
broadcast to multicast when all NLSP nodes on the LAN support
multicast.
Corrects a problem where wildcard filters were applied
inappropriately to the source of the packet to all interfaces.
Corrects the handling of the Get Nearest Server request so that
it does not respond with the nearest Directory Server if the SET
REPLY TO GET NEAREST SERVER option is off. IPXRTR does not allow
static routes or services to be added to a link that is not using
static routing.
IPXRTRNM:
Corrects a problem where IPXRTRNM abended on NetWare for
Windows.
IPXCON:
Corrects a problem where IPXCON was not displaying a level 2
neighbor.
LLC8022:
Provides LAN Network Manager (LNM) functionality.
NOTE: Before you install any NetWare for SAA patches, check the
current version of LLC8022. Be sure to make a backup of LLC8022
before installing any NetWare for SAA patches. (Some SAA patches
incorrectly overwrite newer versions of LLC8022. If this happens,
restore from the backup.)
MPRSCRPT:
Allows device management simulation of the RS-232 Data Set Ready
(DSR) status signal when Multitech modems are used with PPP.
PPPTSM:
Optimizes inbound call processing for bridging.
Updates the PacketLen and PacketSize fields in receive ECBs.
Preserves registers within a PPPTSM data compression routine.
Complies with the NetWare ODI specification for TSMs.
SYNCPLUS:
Prevents an unusual transmit deadlock following frequent PPP
dial operations using asynchronous modems.
Allows the SYNCPLUS driver to load on NetWare for Windows.
TCP/IP:
Corrects a problem with directed broadcasts that caused
broadcasts to be forwarded in only one direction.
Allows routes learned from SNMP to be advertised by the IP
routing protocol.
Fixes intermittent abends when CALLMGR is used to bring up an
on-demand IP call.
Fixes a problem that caused an abend when TCP/IP header
compression is enabled on a media that does not support header
compression. TCP/IP header compression is supported only on PPP.
Fixes a problem with route filter exceptions. Depending on the
order in which the filters were set, an exception could be
ignored.
Fixes a problem that might cause a page fault if a TCP or UDP
stream is aborted while data is in transmission.
Adds error checking to reject a remote route to the local
address from another router across a WAN point-to-point link.
WHSMAIO:
Corrects a potential interoperability problem caused by using
the same character map for both transmit and receive processing.
PPP now assigns the transmit and receive asynchronous control
character maps independently.
NW2000:
Adds logic to prevent a potential board lockup on some
platforms. This problem is more likely on computers with a
triflex bus running under heavy load.
Patch History:
Patch MPR303.EXE supersedes MPR302.EXE and MPR300.EXE.
