List of Issues Addressed
NT Issues Performance Issues:
- This release includes an enhancement to TCP/IP that improves the
performance of TCP-based applications over high latency networks, such
as the Internet.
Routing Issues:
Known Problems in this Update
- Although there is a checkbox in the Global IP Config dialog to
enable/disable filtering, at this time the only functionality it has is
to visually show you if any filters have been configured on your
interface(s). Regardless, the filter driver is always enabled. In order
to disable filtering on an interface, you must use the per interface
option in the Interface IP Config dialog.
- Even though the "Filtertype= Dial" option has been properly configured
for a demand dial interface, it might still be possible for that
interface to dial. This only occurs if you are pinging from the
command line of the Routing and RAS server in which the demand dial
interface is configured.
