Why do I need TCP/IP patches for NetWare 6.5?

Explanation:  Shipping version of NetWare 6.5 will not work properly if they are not patched with the latest TCP/IP patch. The domestic stack that is available in the Companion CD resolves this issue. If you want the null stack with bsdsock.nlm version 6.51o or later for NetWare 6.5 which solves the issue.
