I've been waiting since May 10th for MacTCP 1.1 to show
up on AppleLink in "June 1991" like Apple said. Well
it's pretty close to the end of June and still no MacTCP.
I don't need it for system 7 (I've got applications
keeping me at 6.0.7) but rather because versions 1.0.1 and
1.0.2 contain a bug which causes connections to fail on
ethernets where routers send RIP packets.
I am on such a network and MacTCP switches connections
through router A to router B whenever router B sends a RIP
packet, destroying the connection. I can't turn RIP
routing off.
THE QUESTION
Have any MacTCP wizzards figured out how to patch RIP
recognition out of the driver? I figure it should be
possible to NOP out some code in a dispatch table of
IP packet types based on the socket, but I'm not a wizzard
(only a lowely gnome)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
