anyway to get UDP fail over to work on win98se

I have setup two gateway on my win98se pc and i am having
problem getting UDP to fail over to the second gateway.
Anyone with a workable solution? Thanks.

Hi Kim,

No, you won't be able to get this to work with UDP. UDP by design is a
connectionless protocol. Once the UDP packet is sent, the sender has no way
to tell if it was received or not by the destination. If you want dead
gateway detection to work you need to use TCP.

thanks marc, for replying. is it correct to say that UDP
will not fail over to the second gateway, even if i have
first make a TCP connection (e.g browsing the internet)
and then attempt to do a netlogon?

if that is the case, is there another way which i can do
netlogon to my nt domain? thanks.

If TCP causes the gateway to fail over first then UDP will use the "new"
gateway.
