What's New in DFE-570TX for Windows 2000

The Windows 2000 version of DFE-570TX is different in a number of ways from the Windows
NT version of DFE-570TX.
New Setup Program no longer requires DFE-570TX to be installed from
within the Network Control Panel. However, DFE-570TX still installs as a
protocol transport under each Local Area Connection.
The main DFE-570TX interface is no longer accessed from the Network
Control Panel. It is now accessed from the Windows Start Menu.
The new interface combines the Status Tab, Advanced Tab and the Graph
Utility from D-Link 2.1 into one program.
The setup and configuration functions are in a separate utility that is
accessed from the Properties page of the DFE-570TX service.
DFE-570TX no longer installs a "virtual miniport adapter" which was used to
configure protocol information for the array. DFE-570TX now utilizes the IP
address from the primary adapter or Local Area Connection.
The Local Area Connection name for the primary adapter (in the Network
and Dial-up Connections folder) is renamed so that it is easily identified.
