Chapter 3 Connection and Communication Parameters
67
Specifying DoBroadcast=NONE causes no UDP or IPX broadcasts to be
used. This option is helpful if you are attempting to connect to a server that is
protected by a firewall, since many firewalls filter out UDP packets.
YES and NO arguments are still accepted.
ALL
♦ The following command starts a client without broadcasting to search
for a database server. Instead, the server is looked for only on the
computer named silver.
CommLinks=tcpip(DOBROADCAST=DIRECT;HOST=silver)
asademo
DLL parameter
TCP/IP, SPX (Windows 95/98, Windows NT)
To support untested TCP/IP protocol stacks where the required networking
interface functions are in DLLs that differ from the default protocol stack.
The client or server looks for its required functionality in the named DLLs.
♦ On Windows NT, the default is
ws2_32.dll
(Winsock 2.0).
♦ On Windows 95/98 the default is
wsock32.dll
(Winsock 1.1).
♦ The following command starts a server using Winsock 1.1
:
dbsrv7 -x tcpip(dll=wsock32.dll) asademo
ExtendedName parameter
IPX (platforms other than Windows 95/98 or NT)
According to the Novell standard for legal SAP names, the following
characters are not allowed:
\ / : ; , * ? + -
If you start a server named "asademo-1", the default behavior is to strip out
the - and try to start a server asademo1. By turning on ExtendedName, the
name is left untouched.
Caution
Users should be wary of using this option as it is contrary to the SAP
standard.
No.
