=========> !! important NOTE !! You can configure mars_nwe in two ways. 1. You want mars_nwe to handle routing/sap and configuring ipx-interfaces. This is the default mode. You do not need any other ipx-tool or routers/daemons. In this modus the correct coexisting working of mars_nwe, dosemu, ncpfs or Caldera's nwclient was tested. -> you must use kernel < 1.3.60 or use kernel >= 1.3.60 and compile your kernel with IPX-option CONFIG_IPX_INTERN=N In mars_nwe/config.h there must exist the following line: #define INTERNAL_RIP_SAP 1 2. You want to run mars_nwe only as a fileserver and use special tools to configure ipx and rip/sap routers. -> In this mode you must use tools like ipx-configure and ripd to configure ipx-interfaces, routes and handle rip/sap. In mars_nwe/config.h there must exist the following line: #define INTERNAL_RIP_SAP 0 =========> create programs 1. call make. 2. perhaps you must modify mk.li and config.h 3. call make =========> configure modify nw.ini ! IMPORTANT !! Please read examples/nw.ini if you use a new version of mars_nwe and make the needed changes to your 'ini' or 'conf' file. =========> install "make install" "make install_ini" to overwrite your old _installed_ ini. =========> start programs call nwserv ( as root !! ) tested with Linux Version 1.2.13 and 1.3.32 the linux-kernel must be configured with IPX=Y. ipx-interface and ipx-routes are setup by the program if the entry 4 (devices) in the nw.ini file is filled. =========> stop programs (server down) If nwserv isn't daemonized, then the server can be stopped with ^C, otherwise the server must be shut down with a kill of nwserv or with the right dos client programm (fconsole server down) as supervisor. Entry 210 in the nw.ini file gives the time in seconds, before the server really shuts down. good luck :-) Martin (mstover@freeway.de)
