Using Ipxroute

You can modify the NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol (NWLink) settings that affect routing with the Ipxroute.exe command-line utility (the ipxroute command). The Ipxroute utility provides the same functionality as the Route.exe command-line utility that is supplied by Novell for its MS-DOS-based clients.

The Ipxroute utility manages the source routing variables of NWLink. Ipxroute.exe is installed only if the NWLink transport protocol is bound to a network adapter.

The Ipxroute utility changes these settings for the current session only. When you log off, the settings are lost. To permanently change NWLink settings, you must set them in the registry.

For information about the ipxroute command, see Ipxroute.
