I. 	Installation Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------

A. System Requirements
    The Microsoft DUN 1.3 or Winsock2 Update must be installed prior
    to installing this update.

B. The Microsoft DUN 1.3/Winsock2 Year 2000 Update is for Windows 95
   only 
    This Update is not intended for use on and will not install on 
    computers running Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000. For 
    international versions of Windows 95, download and install the 
    appropriate language version for your location.

II.	Installation Instructions
---------------------------------------------------------------
A. Downloading and Extracting the Microsoft DUN 1.3/Winsock2 Year
   2000 Update
    If you download the update from the Web site, be sure to read the 
    release notes completely before you extract and install the 
    update. 

    After you download the update, a compressed executable file 
    named y2kvdhcp.exe appears on your hard drive. This executable 
    file contains the files you need to update your Microsoft DUN 1.3
    or Winsock2 updates for the year 2000.

   To extract the file and install the year 2000 update:
    1. Locate the y2kvdhcp.exe file on your hard drive with 
       Windows Explorer
    2. Double click the file.
    3. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.

B. Advanced Installation Options
    There are several installation options available to advanced users 
    when installing this update. You can view these options at any time
    by clicking Start, clicking Run, typing 
    y2kvdhcp.exe /? and then clicking OK.

    To use the optional installation parameters below, type
    y2kvdhcp.exe <option>

    /Q - Quiet mode (skips all user prompts) - Useful for silent 
             installations in batch setups.
    /T: <full path> - Specifies a temporary working folder.
    /C - Extract files only to the folder when used also with /T - 
            Allows an administrator to download files into a specified 
            location.
    /C: <cmd> - Override install command defined by author

III. 	Release Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------

A. If You Reinstall Windows 95
    If you have to reinstall the Windows 95 operating system, you will 
    lose the benefits of the update.  Any time you have to reinstall
    Windows 95, run the update installation again.

B. Changes to Network Settings
    This update installs a new year 2000-ready version of the file vdhcp.386. 
    This network system file will be overwritten by an older version from your 
    Windows 95 CD or disks if you make changes to your networking settings. 
    For instance, if you install a new network adaptor, setup an online service, 
    or make changes in Control Panel\Network, your original version of 
    vdhcp.386 will be copied to your system.

    If this occurs, run this update again to install the correct version of
    vdhcp.386.   

IV. 	What Are the Year 2000 Issues addressed by this Update? 
---------------------------------------------------------------

The issues listed below are resolved by installing this Update.

1.  DHCP Virtual Driver (vdhcp.386)
     Winipcfg /all - IP Leases obtained on or after 3/01/2000 are 
     reported as being obtained the previous day. The system date is 
     displayed properly but the DHCP client reports a date one day 
     prior. 

     For example, if you log on to a LAN after March 1, 2000, and you 
     run Winipcfg /all from Start\Run or Ipconfig /all from a DOS VM, 
     the lease obtained date is one day behind. After 2/28/2000, the 
     lease obtained date is one day behind the expected date.
