LWP41N.EXE/binary
Contains fixes for the LAN WorkPlace for DOS 4.1 product.
The following files are updated in this patch (using the .RTPatch
utility):
INSTALL EXE 245454 02-02-93 4:10a
INSTALL MSG 10136 02-02-93 4:10a
LWPCON EXE 257222 04-06-93 4:38p
LWPCON HLP 44238 04-06-93 11:48a
LWPCON MSG 14334 04-06-93 4:37p
PRESENTR EXE 183984 03-26-93 11:23a
RFCNBIOS EXE 57367 05-12-93 3:13p
SNMP EXE 32308 04-06-93 11:56a
TCPIP EXE 40120 06-14-93 4:10a
TELAPI EXE 39712 03-26-93 11:28a
TELNET DLL 12304 06-07-93 3:49p
TNVT220 EXE 107604 03-26-93 11:32a
WFTPFS DLL 52592 01-15-93 3:01p
WLIBSOCK DLL 43000 03-01-93 3:15p
Installation instructions:
1. Ensure you have the original LWP DOS 4.1 software installed,
and remove any previously applied patches. See the notes
below for more info on removing patches.
2. Go to the \NET directory, and make a PATCH subdirectory,
if one does not already exist.
3. Copy the LWP41N.EXE file to \NET\PATCH and unarchive it by
executing it.
4. Execute the INSTALL.BAT file.
Notes:
You must have the original LWP DOS 4.1 software installed in order to
apply this update. If the patch program cannot find the original 4.1
files, the new files will not be installed, and warning messages will
be displayed. If you have installed any other updates to LWP, you
should remove them and restore the original files prior to applying
this update.
The patch program will store the original files in the
\NET\PATCH\BACKUP directory. If you need to revert to the original
files, go to this directory, rename the UNPATCH.BAK file to
UNPATCH.BAT, and execute the file. The original files will be
restored.
New features:
1. Static route support.
New NET.CFG keyword "route" for entering static routes.
route host <dest-host> <gateway>
route net <dest-net> <gateway>
Example:
Protocol TCPIP
route host 1.0.0.1 2.0.0.254
LWPCON is now able to insert/modify/delete entries in the LWP route
table. All routes entered are treated as static routes. The type of
route is determined by the destination IP address, hence only routes
for non-subnetted network addresses can be differentiated.
Subnetwork based routes are treated as host specific routes.
LWPCON now displays default routers as entries in the route table for
the local LWP node (default routers are not displayed for remote
nodes). Default routers cannot be modified/deleted.
2. Dead router detection and automatic router switch.
Up to three default routers can be entered with the NET.CFG
"ip_router" keyword for each network interface supported. TCPIP.EXE
will display them as "Default Router1/2/3" in the signon message if
configured. The first active default router listed in NET.CFG is
used by TCPIP.EXE at startup.
TCPIP will automatically switch the default router if the current
router does not respond to an ARP request, or upon sending the third
TCP re-transmit packet. A new NET.CFG keyword "rt_trigger N" can be
used to change the default TCP re-transmit router switch level from 3
(3rd re-xmit) to N (Nth re-xmit). The valid range is from 1 to 255.
Setting this to a large value will effectively disable the router
switch caused by excessive TCP retransmit.
3. ARP table editing.
LWPCON can be used to edit the ARP table, for both local and remote
hosts (proper ControlCommunity setting in LWPCON is required for
remote editing).
4. TCP receive window size tuning.
New NET.CFG keyword "tcp_window" to set the initial (maximum) LWP TCP
receive window size. Valid range is from 0 to 32767. A value of
zero or no entry tells TCPIP to use the default of 2880.
5. TCP max segment size tuning.
New NET.CFG keyword "tcp_maxsegsize" to set the maximum segment size.
Valid range is from 0 to the maximum size before IP fragmentation can
occur (eg. for Ethernet, 1440). A value of zero or no entry tells
TCPIP to use the default (varies by physical layer).
6. Allow spaces and non-printable characters in NetBIOS names.
If you need to use a space within a NetBIOS name, you must use quote
(") characters to delimit the beginning and ending of the name. If
you don't need spaces in the cached names, then the old style syntax
without quotes will continue to operate.
Hex characters are delimited by the \ character.
For example,
dpx300\00\FFeng
puts a byte of binary zeroes followed by a byte of binary
ones between the "dpx300" and the "eng" in the above string.
Sample NET.CFG section:
Protocol RFCNBIOS
Name1 131.57.5.96
"Name1 " 131.57.5.97
"Name 1" 131.57.5.98
" Name 1" 131.57.5.99
dpx300\00\FFeng 131.57.6.100
