News (May-01-2003)

For full revision history read the NetTools Changelog

1. Changed: minor output cosmetics on ipconfig
2. Added: netstat.exe (PocketPC2002 only) network utility from Microsoft®

Todo

• Port ipconfig and route to Pocket PC devices, i.e. reprogram without the iphlpapi library.
  Remark: Implementing ipconfig and route without iphlpapi should be possible by the undocumented WSControl function and some registry lookup. It's not clear if and how DHCP /renew and /release can be implemented without the new Pocket PC 2002 tcp/ip stack. For more information on that issue please contact pocketconsole@symbolictools.de

Installation

1. Install PocketConsole, the console device driver.
2. Install a command prompt. Either CMD from Microsoft or PocketCMD, the open source command line interpreter from SymbolicTools/ReactOS. (You can also install both of them.)
3. Install the NetTools version depending on your Pocket PC platform.
   • NetTools (ARM)
   • NetTools (MIPS)
   • NetToools (SH3)
