3. Recommendations when using this release

   The Gateway-Discovery application does not work with all OfficeConnect 
   products. It has been tested with 3C855, 3CR856-95 and 3CRWE51196.

   The OfficeConnect Cable/DSL Gateway DHCP server is switched off when the PC 
   running the Gateway-Discovery application and the Gateway are on different 
   subnets. This will only occur when the Gateway-Discovery application 
   successfully applies a temporary IP address to the Gateway. The user will 
   need to manually switch the DHCP server on, in the Gateway menu or wizard.

________________________________________________________________________________

4. Known problems with this release

   Windows 95 user will need to upgrade their PC to add Winsock 2.0 support for
   the Gateway-Discovery application to run. The W95ws2setup.exe file can be
   downloaded from the Microsoft website.
________________________________________________________________________________

5. Installing this release
  
   Remove any previous versions of the Gateway-Discovery application.
