       server installation files are located. Do the NetWare/IP 2.2 server
       installation from this source directory and then install 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.
