- Greetings,
-
- I am currently working on a windows application that will run under
- Novell. I have a few calls in it to make use of IPX, and I am having a
- bit of a problem. I have written my own toolkit for pascal that
- seems to work well under DOS, but only some of the functions work for
- windows. An example of this is the GetLocalTarget function that
- is supposed to return the network address of an intermediate network ect.
-
- To do this I set up a register with
- BX = 02h
- ES:SI = pointer -->DestinationAddr
- ES:DI = pointer -->ImmediateAddr
-
- Do interrupt 7A
-
- TransportTime = CX
- result_code = AL
-
- under dos, this works fine. Windows takes about a minute to return
- a result of 250, or network unreachable.
-
- I am guessing that there is something about windows that messes this up,
- but I don't know what. The Open and Close sockett functions seem to be
- ok, but this, and Send Packet seem to be crashing.
-
- Could some kind soul tell me what I need to do to make this work, and/or
- point me to information that will assist me. I would rather FTP some
- documentation, however I will buy a book if necessary. All of the
- above stuff for DOS I worked out of Charles G. Rose's book but I am
- beginning to see that this book is quickly becomming outdated.
-
- Any information would be greatly appreciated.
