# IPX configuration

config IPX
        tristate "The IPX protocol"
        select LLC
        ---help---
          This is support for the Novell networking protocol, IPX, commonly
          used for local networks of Windows machines.  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.
