IPX660 contains the latest common IPXRTR stack (version 6.60) for NetWare 3.11/3.12/4.1/4.11 platforms. It supercedes IPXRT4.EXE, 41RTR4.EXE, IPX65G.EXE. Reuploaded for minor readme change.

 It provides several fixes to IPXRTR.NLM and related NLMs. For 3.11 & 3.12 servers that do not have IPXRT3.EXE or IPXRT4.EXE installed, it enhances the native IPX routing cabilities and provides NLSP functionality by installing IPXRTR.NLM and related NLMs.

 Warning: Do NOT install IPX660 on a server or router running
 NetWare MultiProtocol Router 2.x,
 MPR Plus 2.x,
 NetWare WAN Links 2.0, or a
 NetWare 3 SFT III server.

 To install IPX660 on a local server, complete these steps:

 1. If your server is running NetWare 3.11 or 3.12, then install LIBUPB.EXE.
 (Abends may occur if this update is not applied.)

 2. If your server is running MPR 3.0, then copy the PPPTSM.NLM from the
 SUPP directory. It is version 3.02, dated Sept 18, 1996.

 3. Backup the files on your server that are included in this update.
 They are listed below.

 4. Explode the file IPX660 into an empty directory on the server.
 (To explode the file, type IPX660.EXE <Enter>.)

 NOTE: If floppies are created for this install, then copy the files
 in the directory IPXSERV1 onto one floppy and label it IPXSERV1 with the DOS
label command. Copy the files in the directory IPXSERV2 onto the second floppy
 and label the second floppy IPXSERV2 and copy the files in the directory
 IPXSERV3 onto the third floppy and label it IPXSERV3.

 5. At the server console prompt, type LOAD INSTALL <Enter>.

 6. Select Product Options, then press <Enter>.
 
 7. Select Install a product not listed, then press <Enter>. This software cannot be installed remotely.

 8. Point INSTALL to the path containing the IPXSERV1 directory.
 For example, SYS:\IPX660\IPXSERV1

 If you are installing from floppy, then the floppies must be labeled
 IPXSERV1, IPXSERV2 and IPXSERV3 (with the DOS label command) correspondingly;
 otherwise, the install will continue to ask you to insert the disk.

 After the installation completes, when you select
 View/Configure/Remove installed products, the following product will
 be listed:
 IPXRTR V6.60 IPX Upgrade for NetWare Servers

 9. Before restarting the server, perform the steps in 31XCONFG.TXT
 to configure IPXRTR on a 3.11 or 3.12 NetWare server.

 NOTE: IPXRTR configuration on a NetWare 4.1 and 4.11 is done in INETCFG
 when you configure and bind IPX.

FIXES carried over from IPX65B.EXE:

 1. Clients dialing into NetWare Connect servers could not connect, after
installing Support Pack 3 or IPX65A.EXE. (IPXCP negotiation issues were fixed.)

 FIXES carried over from IPX65A.EXE:

 1. Server abends reported in IPXRTR.NLM.
 2. If an attempt to load IPXRTR.NLM in the MS engine of a 4.1x SFT III
 server is done, IPXRTR.NLM will not load, and a message will be reported.
 (It still loads in the I/O engines.)
 3. Improved IPXRTR error messages on the server console.
 4. Workstation performing a remote boot was unable to connect to a server.
 when load balancing turned on.
 5. Server with IPXRTR.NLM loaded was not able to ping the internal IPX
 net number and a node address of all FFs.
 6. The new SET command, SET REQUIRED NETWORK FOR SERVICES
 = OFF, would allow the server to "absorb" a specific service (SAP) if the
 specific network number did not exist, but the IPX default route existed.
 However, if the specific network number AND the IPX default route existed,
 then the software had a bug where it would NOT "absorb" the service.
 7. Server with IPXRTR.NLM loaded was not abiding by the "split horizon" rule
completely.
 8. See PREVFIX.TXT for a list of fixes and features that were included in
 IPXRT4 and 41RTR4.EXE.

All the listed symptoms are fixed by IPX660.EXE.

Tips

  A. If you want to use Load Balancing, between clients and a local
 server, read 4BALANCE.TXT for 4.1 servers, 4BAL_SFT.TXT for 4.1
 SFT III servers, or 3BALANCE.TXT for 3.12 servers.

 B. If you will be using TCP/IP, download, and apply the latest TCPIP patch.

 If the following undefined symbols occur when loading IPXCON.NLM,
 NetCfgMakeConfigPath, then install the latest TCPIP patch.

 C. Refer to the NetWare for Macintosh 4.10 for Appletalk updates.

 D. If you will be using INETCFG or IPXRTR on an 4.x SFT III server:
          a. INETCFG requires a CLIB dated March 95, or later.
          b. refer to TID 1007934
 Note: To run IPXRTR on NW4.10 environment system must include all OS
 patches including CHKLANFX.NLM.

 E. Refer to the file TRBSHT.TXT for tips on examining and
 troubleshooting your NLSP network.

 F. PRODUCT INTEROPERABILITY

 Every effort has been made to identify Novell and third-party products
 that require RIP or SAP to operate. Other Novell or third-party products
 that have not yet been identified might also require RIP or SAP. If you have
 a product that loses connectivity through a Novell NLSP server, complete the
 following steps:
 1. Unload IPXRTRNM and IPXRTR by entering the following commands at
 the server prompt:
     UNLOAD IPXRTRNM <Enter>
     UNLOAD IPXRTR <Enter>
 2. Reload IPXRTR and IPXRTRNM by entering the following commands at
 the server prompt:
     LOAD IPXRTR routing=RIPSAP <Enter>
     LOAD IPXRTRNM <Enter>

 This returns the IPX router to RIP/SAP-only mode.
 If connectivity returns, the server requires RIP or SAP to function.

 G. SERVMAN configurations for IPX RIP/SAP and SAP filtering do not take
 effect with FIPX65C.

 H. IPXRTR.NLM will not load if IRWASM.NLM is already loaded. If you
 want to run IPXRTR.NLM on the same system as NetWare SNA Links 1.0 software,
 ensure that the LOAD IPXRTR command line precedes the LOAD IRWASM
 command line in your AUTOEXEC.NCF file.

 I. Old style QMS printers do not interoperate on NLSP only networks. They
 require RIP and SAP for the NetWare servers on which the print queues
 reside. For further information, read QMS.TXT.
J. 1. NetWare 3.12 and 3.11 servers do not have a
 SYS:ETC\NLSP.CFG file installed, by default. The LSP Size can be
 increased/decreased in this file. With IPXRTR v6.60, when a NLSP.CFG
 file does not exist, the LSP Size default is 1024. (In versions
 prior to IPXRTR v6.5, the LSP Size default was 512.)
