You need it if you - want to access Novell NetWare file or print servers using the Linux - Novell client ncpfs (available from - <ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/linux/ncpfs/>) or from - within the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, - available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>). In order - to do the former, you'll also have to say Y to "NCP file system - support", below. - - IPX is similar in scope to IP, while SPX, which runs on top of IPX, - is similar to TCP. - - To turn your Linux box into a fully featured NetWare file server and - IPX router, say Y here and fetch either lwared from - <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/daemons/> or - mars_nwe from <ftp://www.compu-art.de/mars_nwe/>. For more - information, read the IPX-HOWTO available from - <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. - - The IPX driver would enlarge your kernel by about 16 KB. To compile - this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ipx. - Unless you want to integrate your Linux box with a local Novell - network, say N. - -config IPX_INTERN - bool "IPX: Full internal IPX network" - depends on IPX - ---help--- - Every IPX network has an address that identifies it. Sometimes it is - useful to give an IPX "network" address to your Linux box as well - (for example if your box is acting as a file server for different - IPX networks: it will then be accessible from everywhere using the - same address). The way this is done is to create a virtual internal - "network" inside your box and to assign an IPX address to this - network. Say Y here if you want to do this; read the IPX-HOWTO at - <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto> for details. - - The full internal IPX network enables you to allocate sockets on - different virtual nodes of the internal network. This is done by - evaluating the field sipx_node of the socket address given to the - bind call. So applications should always initialize the node field - to 0 when binding a socket on the primary network. In this case the - socket is assigned the default node that has been given to the - kernel when the internal network was created. By enabling the full - internal IPX network the cross-forwarding of packets targeted at - 'special' sockets to sockets listening on the primary network is - disabled. This might break existing applications, especially RIP/SAP - daemons. A RIP/SAP daemon that works well with the full internal net - can be found on <ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/ncpfs/>. - - If you don't know what you are doing, say N. - |
