NET.CFG Options Reference
Protocol IPX Option
IPATCH byte_offset, value
Allows any address in the IPXODI.COM file to be patched with any
specified byte offset value.
IPX PACKET SIZE LIMIT number
Reduces the maximum packet size (in bytes) set by each LAN driver.
Even though a LAN driver could send 16KB packets across the wire, the
wasted memory for most operations might be unacceptable.
The optimum packet size for token ring drivers is 4160 bytes. For Ethernet,
the optimum is 1500 bytes. Reduce the maximum packet size if you receive
out-of-memory errors at the client workstation.
This parameter is a new feature, and not all LAN drivers support it. See the
documentation provided with your LAN driver for details.
Syntax

Syntax ipx packet size limit number
Replace number with the size set by the LAN
driver.
Default The lesser of either 4160 or the size specified by the LAN
driver
