NetWare 4.2 did not come with the files server neccessary to enable IPX/IP
Gateway feature. Note, this "A" revision, correct ipg4201.exe missing files and missing instruction steps.

installation

PROCEDURE TO INSTALL IPX/IP GATEWAY ON NETWARE 4.20 SERVERS
===========================================================

0. EXTRACTING FILES
===================
A. Copy ipg4201.exe into a temporary directory
B. Run ipg4201.exe, this will extract files to temporary directory

1. COPYING THE NECESSARY FILES
==============================
A. Copy the following NLMs contained in this archive to the
SYS:SYSTEM directory on the server:
IPXGW.NLM
GWDSINST.NLM
DEBUGLOG.NLM

B. Copy the contents of the directory NLS\4 in this archive
to the SYS:SYSTEM\NLS\4 directory on the server:
IPXGW.MSG
GWDSINST.MSG
GWDSINST.HLP

C. Copy the LICMAINT.NLM and GATEWAY.LCN files enclosed in
this archive to the root directory of the SYS: volume.

2. INSTALLING THE GATEWAY LICENSE
=================================
A. At the server console type: LOAD SYS:LICMAINT.NLM

B. Press INSERT to install and new license and select IPX/
IP GATEWAY.

C. In the location path field type SYS:\

3. EXTENDING DIRECTORY SERVICES SCHEMA FOR THE GATEWAY
======================================================
A. At the server console type: LOAD GWDSINST NAME=<servername>-GW
Example: If your server name is MYSERVER then the gateway object
will be the server name with the suffix '-GW' -- MYSERVER-GW.

B. When requested, login with a user account that has supervisor
rights to the [ROOT] object.

4. LOADING THE GATEWAY MODULE
=============================
A. TCP/IP must be configured and running at this server

B. At the console type: LOAD NETDB

C. At the console type: LOAD IPXGW

D. You may include this load command in the AUTOEXEC.NCF of the
server. This command should be run after the IPX and TCP/IP stacks
have loaded and respective bindings to network interface cards have
taken place.

5. CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING THE GATEWAY
============================================
In intraNetware 4.11 and Internet Access Server 4 (NIAS4) the
procedure described previously was performed in INETCFG, in the
PROTOCOLS > TCP/IP section. This would spawn the TCPCFG.NLM which
contained an option to configure the gateway. Because the required
NLM set has not been shipped with Netware 4.20 and NIAS 4.1, this
procedure cannot be done automatically through INETCFG as in previous
versions. The other configuration options which are available in this
version of the gateway are as follows:

A. Gateway access control. This will determine whether the rules set
in DS will be enforced or not:

SET IPX/IP GATEWAY ACCESS CONTROL = ON / OFF(default)

B. Gateway client logging. This will log gateway client accesses to
the SYS:GW_AUDIT.LOG file:

SET IPX/IP GATEWAY AUDIT LOG = ON / OFF(default)

C. IPX/IP Gateway information level. The level of information displayed
in the gateway console screen as well as written to SYS:GW_INFO.LOG:

SET IPX/IP GATEWAY INFORMATION LEVEL = 1 (errors only)
                                       2 (warnings and errors)
                                       3 (informational, warnings and errors)
                                       4 (events and all of the above)
                                       5 (debug messages and all of the above)

D. The gateway also requires a SYS:ETC\RESOLV.CFG pointing to valid
name server(s) in order to operate properly. This is specially important
if access to the Internet is done through the gateway server. This can
be configured in INETCFG by selecting PROTOCOLS > TCP/IP > DNS RESOLVER
CONFIGURATION.

E. This version of the gateway contains NetWare Admininstrator snap-ins
ONLY for the Windows 3.X version of that utility (NWADMN3X.EXE). The
snap-in is file IPXGW3X.DLL, provided in this archive. For information on
how to setup the snap-in refer to TID 2917726.
