installation

1. Make backups:
    a. rename current ipxgw.nlm to ipxgw.org
    b. rename current debuglog.nlm to debuglog.org

2. Extract the ipgsn10.exe file to a temporary directory

3. Copy files in the temporary directory to sys:\system directory on the
IPX/IP Gateway server
    files:
                  ipxgw.nlm
                  debuglog.nlm
                  ipxgw.ncf
                  Ipxgwset.ncf

4. Edit the autoexec.ncf file. Add the following line:
           ipxgw
NOTE 1: This is a ncf file and is needed because the IPX/IP
Gateway(IntrawareWare 1.0) use to be configured and supported via the
inetcfg.nlm. However the Gateway version in this patch is based on
BorderManager 3.5 Gateway code and no longer supported in inetcfg.nlm. Also the newer versions of inetcfg.nlm no longer support the Gateways.

NOTE 2: ipxgw.ncf calls ipxgwset.ncf. This file contains various SET statements that control the gateway (access control, audit log). This file may be edited to fit you gateway needs.

5. Please reboot server

6. You MUST update all 3.X clients with Novell Client Support Pack 1,
