Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Pathworks was the tradename used by Digital Equipment Corporation of Maynard, Massachusetts Maynard , Massachusetts for a series of programs that eased the interoperation of Digital s minicomputer s with personal computer s. The server part of Pathworks ran on VAX VMS or Ultrix and enabled a DEC VAX or VAXcluster to act as a file and print server for client IBM PC compatible and Apple Macintosh Macintosh workstations. Pathworks server was derived from LanMan X , the portable version of OS 2 LAN Manager . Once installed onto the PCs, the Pathworks client provided the following features DECnet end node connectivity with the host systems PowerTerm 525 Terminal emulation software from Ericom File transfer software For clients running a GUI such as Windows 3.x, additional components available included an X window system server, allowing clients to access graphical apps running on VMS or UNIX hosts, and clients for DEC s ALL IN 1 email and groupware system. Although primitive by modern standards, Pathworks was very sophisticated for its time far more than just a file and print server, it made client microcomputers into terminals and workstations on a DEC network. LanMan normally ran across Microsoft s basic, non routable NetBIOS NetBIOS NetBEUI NetBIOS Frames protocol NBF protocol, but Pathworks included a DECnet stack, including layers like the LAT transport used for terminal sessions. The complexity of DECnet by 1980s PC standards meant that the Pathworks client was a huge software stack to have resident in MS DOS configuring the Pathworks client was a complex task, made more so by the need to preserve enough Conventional memory for DOS applications to run. To keep a reasonable amount of base memory free mandated the use of QEMM or a similar memory manager . Pathworks was available for both Windows and Mac computer systems.

It used a data rate of 2 Mbit s . The original PC Network hardware was available in two varieties, baseband and broadband. The baseband version connected computers in daisy chain electrical engineering daisy chain style using twisted pair cables with RJ45 connectors. Interface cards had two RJ45 sockets for connecting to left and right neighbor nodes. The unused sockets at the ends of the network segment had to be fitted with Electrical termination terminator s. The more expensive and less widely used broadband version communicated over 75 Co axial cable Standard cable types RG 11 type cable on separate transmit and receive frequency ranges, using a head end device to translate between the two signals.

To access the File and Print Services the Client Service for NetWare needs to be installed. Using NWLink IPX SPX NetBIOS NWLink IPX SPX NetBIOS Compatible Transport is Microsoft s implementation of the Novell IPX SPX Internetwork Packet Exchange Sequenced Packet Exchange protocol stack. The Windows XP implementation of the IPX SPX protocol stack adds NetBIOS support. The main function of NWLink is to act as a transport protocol to route packets through internetworks. By itself, the NWLink protocol does not allow you to access the data across the network. If you want to access NetWare File and Print Services, you must install NWLink and Client Services for NetWare software that works at the upper layers of the OSI model to allow access to File and Print services . One advantage of using NWLink is that is easy to install and configure. Configuring NWLink IPX SPX The only options that are configured for NWLink are the internal network number and the frame type . Normally, you leave both settings at their default values. The internal network number is commonly used to identify NetWare file servers. It is also used when you are running File and Print Services for NetWare or using IPX routing. The frame type specifies how the data is packaged for transmission over the network. If the computers that are using NWLink use different frame types, they are not able to communicate with each other. The default setting for frame type is Auto Det ... more details

The Transport Driver Interface or TDI is the protocol understood by the upper edge of the Transport layer of the Microsoft Windows Kernel computer science kernel network stack. Transport Providers are implementations of network protocols such as TCP IP , NetBIOS , and AppleTalk . When user mode binaries are created by compiling and linking, an entity called a TDI client is linked into the binary. TDI clients are provided with the compiler . The user mode binary uses the user mode API of whatever network protocol is being used, which in turn causes the TDI client to emit TDI commands into the Transport Provider. Typical TDI commands are TDI SEND, TDI CONNECT, TDI RECEIVE. The purpose of the Transport Driver Interface is to provide an abstraction layer, permitting simplification of the TDI clients.

Orphan date August 2009 A Hack Trapper is an Application software application run on a sometimes deliberately unprotected machine or network with the intention of alerting the user of connection attempts. A Hack Trapper listens on certain TCP and UDP port ports which are commonly used to gain unauthorized access to a machine or data on it. When a connection is made, the user is alerted in some way. In most cases the source IP address is logged to help trace the connection. Some of these ports include Remote Desktop Protocol , Windows File Sharing, NetBIOS , as well as many Trojan horse computing Trojan Horses and Backdoor computing Backdoors . Security It has been controversial over whether Hack Trappers actually make a machine more secure or not. The idea is that the user can report the incident to the Internet service provider ISP of the connecting machine, or even law enforcement. This way the connecting machine will be less likely to try to access or interfere with the system in the future. On the other hand, some people believe them to make a computer less secure, since they will make a system much more visible to the internet.

Unreferenced date August 2009 ACF NCP stands for Advanced Communication Function Network Control Program . It is the program that controls computer network network communications in a standard Systems Network Architecture SNA . DLSW is an IP transport solution for SNA NetBIOS between peering routers. In traditional SNA networks, ACF VTAM software on the host and ACF NCP software on the FEPs together perform all routing of SNA traffic, ensuring that the traffic flows appropriately from source to destination. Because it does not have any ACF NCP or ACF VTAM functionality within it, DLSw routers cannot route traditional SNA traffic. Instead, DLSw simply encapsulates the traffic in IP. Within the IP network the traffic is routed, but when converted back to SNA, it must continue to be routed by ACF NCP or ACF VTAM. Two issues that result from this fact have caused some IT organizations to continue to support FEPs in the data center. First, many SNA networks implement a design in which two FEPs running ACF NCP can act as backup for one another. If one of the paths to one of the FEPs fails, the SNA traffic automatically can be sent through the other FEP. Known as duplicate Token Ring interface coupler TIC addressing, this feature has been the centerpiece of building high availability SNA networks. DLSw , although offering many high availability features, cannot directly replace this function. Therefore, SNA sessions can fail if one of the DLSw routers fails. Some IT organizations have continued to support FEPs in the data center primarily to provide this redundancy for SNA sessions. The second issue is host cycle conservation. As stated, ACF VTAM and ACF NCP work together to route SNA traffic. If ACF NCP is not present or is eliminated, then ACF VTAM must take responsibility for all of the SNA routing tasks. For organizations that do not have ample host CPU cycles idle, the increase in host processing can have an adverse impact on application response and network performan ... more details
