 Added features in version 7.00
 ==============================
  
 - None


 Corrected problems in version 7.00
 ==================================

 - DHCP packets sent before an IP address is obtained now always have the
   source address field of the IP header set to 0.0.0.0. Otherwise some
   DHCP server will discard our requests.

 - A gratuitous ARP is sent at startup and whenever the IP address changes.
   Without it some switches will not recognize us being there.


 Known problems in version 7.00
 ==============================

 - If upgrading from a firmware release earlier than 6.43, the DHCP parameter 
   will be set to the default value, i.e. enabled. Thus after upgrading from
   these old releases, any static IP parameters such as the IP address, will
   be replaced with values obtained with DHCP. 

   We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

 - Axis ThinWizard is the recommended management tool to use with this print
   server. HP WebJetadmin is  neither tested nor supported with this release.

 - Support for Checksums in Netware is not implemented.

 - The delete button in the web-interface does not work for the usb-port

 - Select standard TCP/IP port when configuring system for peer-to-peer 
   printing in Windows environment. Printing with the AXIS Port Monitor to
   USB-printers will most likely cause the Print Server to "hang". 

 - If there is an SLP directory agent on the network and the 
   slp-directory-agent option (RFC 2165) is used by the dhcp server, the Print 
   Servers will most likely end up in a non recoverable endless loop.

 - If the print server receives a NDS tree name via dhcp, and the new name
   differs from the one stored in the print server, then the print server will
   keep on rebooting forever. The solution is either to disable the NDS tree 
   option on the DHCP server, or to configure the print server on a network
   where no DHCP server is present.

 - FW 7.00 is not fully compatible with TW 3.00.  The Print Server 
   name will be missing and the Status reported by TW 3.0 will be wrong. 
   For full functionality please use TW 3.04, or higher. TW 3.04 is 
   estimated to be released no later than Feb 4 2005.
