Notes on WATTCP Apps -------------------- These are a collection of "example" applications that come with the Waterloo TCP programmer's package, plus ftp. You do not need to be connected to configure them. To configure these, edit file WATTCP.CFG. If you already have a working WATTCP.CFG file for another application, or a global WATTCP.CFG that you use, you can just make WATTCP.CFG here a one-line deal: include=e:\internet\wattcp.cfg Otherwise, edit the included file. If you have static IP, set my_ip to your static IP address, like so: my_ip=204.117.9.33 If you have dynamic IP, comment out that line and put this instead: include=e:\internet\ipaddr.cfg You will have to arrange for IPADDR.CFG to be created at connect time and put its pathname here; see README on my site. Set netmask to this (do *not* use your real netmask): netmask=0.0.0.0 If you have a static gateway, put its IP address in like so: gateway=199.191.1.70 If your gateway is dynamic, either put in the gateway you *usually* get (as I used to, I sometimes got 199.191.1.75 instead, but the above still worked), or comment out the gateway line and use this: include=e:\internet\gateway.cfg Again, you will have to make a batch file to create GATEWAY.CFG at connect time and give the pathname of the created file; see README. Set nameserver to your nameserver's IP address: nameserver=199.191.1.80 Set domainslist to the empty string (it only slows things down if you give your actual domain): domainslist="" Leave include (the one in the file, not the ones you added, of course), bootp, bootpto, and ethip commented out. If you have static IP, you can set your hostname to the name of your PC if you like: hostname=tvdog.buckeyeweb.com (For me.) For dynamic IP, leave hostname commented out. Set sockdelay to 60 (this helps if some sites are slow to connect): sockdelay=60 Set domainto to 20 (this helps with domain lookups, you can make it even longer if you need to): domainto=20 mss is 512 by default. That is a good value for it; leave it alone.
