ComSetup Utility

You can start the ComSetup by double-clicking on the ComSetup icon in the ftpAxe Programs' folder:

The Communication Setup / Windows Sockets dialog box will appear on your display:

The following input fields are available:

Hosts File

This field is used to specify a location of the hosts file. This file contains a list of hosts in the standard format. You may choose the one that is used by Windows Sockets Interface or enter another name of the file for your own needs.

WinSock DLL

This field is used to locate the DLL executable which provides Windows Sockets Interface to existing TCP/IP stack. By default, wsock32.dll of the Microsoft Windows' TCP/IP will be used. You can specify to use any other TCP/IP stack by entering its 32-bit Windows Sockets Interface DLL.

The If non-single IP address Box

If your PC has more than one IP address (i.e., 'multi-home' PC with non-single TCP/IP stack, e.g. for Ethernet + modem), then you should specify a mode for choosing one of them. The Always Use the First IP address and Always Use the Last IP address modes allow ftpAxe's programs to automatically choose the local IP address. You can set up the Ask to Choose mode to specify that you will choose the address in the dialog box brought up by the programs. The default mode is Ask to Choose.

The TCP/IP Info Box

When you click on the Refresh button, the ComSetup will search for available TCP/IP information and, if found, display in the info field the IP address and name of your PC according to mode settings. If the Create 'sp_ghbn.out' Info file check box is enabled, then all information found will be stored in the file. This allows you to check accessibility and obtain description of the TCP/IP stack used.

The Transport button lets you choose the network transport.

The Default button sets up the default values for all these parameters.

To close the Communication Setup dialog box, click OK if you wish to save new settings, otherwise click on the Cancel button.
