!! this kernelpatch is _not_ needed for kernel >= 1.3.60 :) !!
this kernelpatch for clean kernels 1.3.56,57,58, pur 59 makes 3 things.
- removes the ipx-send bug. BIG THANKS to Volker Lendecke.
the problem was that sometimes the sendto function hung.
- ipx rip/sap packets comming from internal net must change
there source address from internal net/node to the
device net/node.
The problem was:
By configuring mars_nwe at the internal network, the rip/sap
socket gets the network and node address of the internal
net. Then, by sending rip/sap packets over this socket to the
several devices the rip/sap packets don't have the device net/node,
but the internal net/node.
- an existing route should never be overwritten by an route
over the internal net.
The problem was:
By running dosemu at the same workstation as mars_nwe the
dosemu automaticly changes the route to a nearby server
to route over the internal network and this destroyed
the real route over a device to this server.
You must be supervisor and then you must start './patchme' .
