I am looking for info on installing a .prt to test out my iphook.  Im writing a firewall, and I have two DLLs that are tagert type .prt.  Im using this prt to hook into the tcp/ip with MIp6Hook.  My problem is there is no documentation, outside of the example of the prt itself) that explains how to install a .prt and force the system to load it when it opens a connection.  Can anyone explain to me this process, or give me a link to some documentation that can help me out with this process?  Any help would be great!

Assuming you have the complete "package", then see the example hooks, specifically "exaout".

Re: How to install a .prt on s60
im using the in/out example (in6hookexample) to setup my hook.  Im not having a problem with the process of creating the hook, what I cant find info on is how to INSTALL the hook onto a device.  It deals with taking the .prt and getting a .esk into the data folder so the system can load the .prt when it is needed.  I understand what needs to be done, but not how to do it.  There is a lack of documentation dealing with installing and uninstalling protocall mods.

Location depends on Symbian OS version.

Just copy the PRT files into same place as other prt files lie. Same with ESK files (different place).

If you have the source, just see how installation of other PRT:s are handled with configs in their group directories.

Re: How to install a .prt on s60
If you have the devkit, and you look in the FAQs section then FAQ-1312 "How do I register my IPHook with ESOCK?" should help. 

If it's not in your devkit, let me know the details of the build you have (should be in \epoc32\data\buildinfo.txt) and I'll try and find out why it's not in the developer library yet when I get back into the office after Christmas.

I do have the DevKit, but i cant locate the FAQ you are talking about.  Can you give me the links i need to follow in the devkit documentation to get to the FAQ you are talking about?

Re: How to install a .prt on s60
Should be.  Not much has changed there in a while.

For future reference, the platforms the FAQ is applicable to should be listed at the top of the page.  If it isn't on yours, then that might be a future documentation feature.

K, thanks for the help.  The FAQ topic pointed me to a .doc that has pretty much everything I was looking for (IP Hooks_HowTo.doc).  It was just what I was looking for!

Please let me know what deficiencies you find in our documentation either generally or specifically within the networking or comms-infras subsystems.  I'll try and get your comments added to our documentation improvements.
