1790.0. "HUBwatch V3.1 & other IP stack ??" by ZTOIS1::VISTA (Renato VISTA/DC France/ZTO) Fri Dec 16 1994 10:26

    
    
    Hi,
    
    Using HUBwatch V3.1 for WINDOWS, my customer would like to use another
    TCPIP stack than the IPSTACK/PATHwork V5.0 available within HUBwatch
    kit.
    
    This other stack would be PC/TCP from FTPsoft version V2.2.
    
    Is it possible to use that IP stack ?
    
    Thank you for your help.
    Renato

1790.1we think it should workNAC::FORRESTWed Dec 28 1994 16:3211
    I am not sure whether anyone has tried this combination and been
    successful. In theory, HUBwatch should work with any vendor's IP stack,
    as long as the IP stack complies  with the WINSOCK specification. Of
    course there may be differences in interpretation of the WINSOCK spec
    that  would cause problems.
    
    So while we "officially" support the included IP stack, we will look 
    into a problem with any vendor's IP stack as time allows. Before 
    reporting a problem with a particular stack, you should query the stack
    vendor's support line to see whether they have made any patches for 
    compatibility bugs.

I did a HUB900 course with some local partners using PCs for HUBwatch. We saw a 
lot of problems with different IFcards, stacks and drivers.

I showd them on a DECpc with a DEC-IFcard and one of our driver how it could 
run in 10 minutes, but all this PC stuff and "winsock" "compatible" stacks is 
very confusing. You never know does it run or not.

Maybe we sould open an entry with combinations of cards, configs, stacks and 
drivers that run.

    I just got HW to work with LANworkplace for DOS without any
    problems, or having to do anything beyond installing HUBwatch.
