Greetings,

I have to describe some netware operations details, in a paper I'm
writing. After reading some manuals, and tracing a few connections, I
was left with following questions:

1> I know of two ways for the client to determine its network address:
 <> by passively listening to the broadcasted RIP response packets;
 <> by sending, in its initialization phase, a SAP Get Nearest Server 
      request, with an all-0 sender net.

 My questions here:
 --> how is the address determined from the response? does the 
      responding server modifies the original all-0, or is it taken
      directly from the server's address?
 --> can it happen that the address will only be determined later
      in the initialization sequence, when the response to the
      RIP-Get Local Target is received?

2> I've noticed that when the path from a  Windows-for-Workgroup 
     client to its server is broken, the client will not re-establish 
     the connection using a different route. DOS clients, on the other
     hand, do so.
     How can this behaviour be fixed in WfW?
