Note that TCPN04A.EXE Patch must be installed prior to installing this patch. It includes the following sections: Fixes inlcuded in this patch Enhancements included in this patch List of files includedin this patch Installation of the patch NIP203 ============================== Fixes included in this patch ============================== NWIP server with NIP202 installed wil not attempt to contact DNS registered DSS servers if the preferred DSSes does not respond. NWIP with TCPN04A.EXE installed when configured thru INETCFG does not load. TCPIP.NLM takes time to load and NWIP failing to get any interface IP addresses exits during load time. NWIPINST.NLM and UNINSTALL.NLM uses NUT.NLM. Should use NWSNUTS.NLM instead. NWIPCFG was destroying nameserver entries in resolv.cfg ========================================= Enhancements included in this patch ========================================= DSS Zone transfers were getting time outs while using NWIP on a modem. Added two parameters to nwparams file under DSS section. 'DSS_READ_TIMEOUT' and 'DSS_WRITE_TIMEOUT'. This will lengthen the time outs on the DSS Zone Transfers. NWIP client fails to login to a NWIP server across Firewall( NAT ). Currently this fix will work only for on-to-one static address mappings on NAT.
