Windows XP SP2 and Third-Party
Firewall/Bridging Products |
| |
Windows
XP SP2 release candidates and interim test builds are now available. The
changes introduced in Windows XP SP2 include functional features (e.g.,
Microsoft-provided Windows Firewall) and system internal security-related
changes that may effect your product drastically.
 Certainly third-party
firewall and bridging products that have been successful for many years may
be broken (or obsolete) forever...
In any event, do test your
software with Windows XP SP 2. Information about the Windows XP Service Pack
2 Technical Preview Program can be found at the URL:

PCAUSA Acquires
NDIS.COM Domain |
|
|
PCAUSA has acquired the NDIS.COM domain. We intend to use this
new domain name to organize and publish information of specific interest to NDIS
software developers.
Most of the PCAUSA NDIS developer's
resource information will be moved from
www.pcausa.com and www.rawether.net to
one central location - www.ndis.com.
During the move we plan to review and
update the existing NDIS developer resource information - as well as add new
information.
