-
- 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
-
