Maybe, I have to patch dosemu code to set sipx_type (byte just after
sipx_node in af_ipx structure) to value from IPX header created by dos
application:
ipxs.sipx_type = IPXHeader->PacketType;
instead of (meaningless)
ipxs.sipx_type = 1;
where IPXHeader is
typedef struct IPXPacketStructure {
u_short Checksum __attribute__((packed));
u_short Length __attribute__((packed));
u_char TransportControl __attribute__((packed));
u_char PacketType __attribute__((packed));
....
}
Maybe that same code is missing from Wine (I'm not using it and I have not
latest sources handy)? (and same code for recvfrom-
IPXHeader->PacketType = ipxs.sipx_type;
)
