might be useful to you.
To
link to the Microsoft websites referenced in this document, you must be
connected to the Internet.
To
ensure the confidentiality of your transmissions, Windows XP uses the
Encrypting File System feature of NTFS to encrypt files locally. However, if
you upgraded from Microsoft Windows 98 or Microsoft
Windows Millennium Edition without converting the file system to NTFS, or
if you selected the FAT file system during your installation, you will be
unable to encrypt files on Web servers.
For
information about converting file systems to NTFS, see Help and Support Center
in Windows XP.
This
note applies if you are using a non-Microsoft virtual private network (VPN)
application to access your computer remotely.
Many
non-Microsoft Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) client applications
do not operate properly or install correctly with Windows XP. If your
Internet service provider (ISP) requires PPPoE to connect to the Internet, you
can solve PPPoE problems by using the PPPoE client in Windows XP, or you
can request a Windows XP–compatible PPPoE client application from your
software vendor or ISP.
If
you use one of the following products, contact the vendor for a
Windows XP–compatible version of their software:
·
WinPoET version 2.1a or earlier
·
EnterNet 300 version 1.34 or earlier
To
make a connection by using the PPPoE client included in Windows XP
1. Click Start, click Control Panel,
and then click Network and Internet Connections.
2. In Network Tasks, click Create a
new connection.
The New
Connection Wizard starts.
3. Click Next.
4. Select the following options, clicking Next after
each selection:
·
Connect to the Internet
·
Set up my connection
manually
·
Connect using a
broadband connection that requires a user name and password
5. Follow the steps in the wizard.
You
can choose to leave ISP Name blank. If you do, Windows XP
will attempt to detect the connection.
Windows XP
no longer supports some networking protocols because the functionality that
these network protocols provided has been replaced by equivalent functionality
in the TCP/IP protocol suite.
The
networking protocols that Windows XP no longer supports are as follows:
·
NetBIOS Extended User Interface (NetBEUI),
a non-routable protocol
·
Data Link Control (DLC), a non-routable
protocol
·
AppleTalk, a protocol used with Apple
computers
For
Telnet clients on VTNT terminals to work correctly with East Asian languages,
they must be configured to use TrueType fonts. You should configure this
setting before you run the Telnet client. To do so, use the following
procedure.
To
configure Telnet clients to use TrueType fonts
1. Open a command-prompt window.
2. Right-click the title bar or system menu of the
command-prompt window, and then click Properties.
3. On the Font tab, select a TrueType
font, and then click OK.
4. Select Modify shortcut that started this
window, and then click OK.
5. Click Start, click Run, and
then type the following:
telnet
6. When the Telnet window appears, repeat steps 2
through 4.
If
you install the utilities from the ORiNOCO Wireless LAN card CD,
Windows XP Wireless Configuration Service will not run correctly. This is
because these utilities interfere with the control of the card. As a result,
the wireless configuration tab in the network properties does not appear, and
the card does not configure automatically.
To
correct problems with the ORiNOCO Wireless LAN card
1. Remove ORiNOCO Utilities through Add or Remove
Programs in Control Panel.
2. Use Device Manager to uninstall the ORiNOCO card.
To
open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control
Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
3. Reinstall the drivers to redetect the card
through Scan for hardware changes in Device Manager or by
restarting Windows XP.
This
information applies to wireless devices that use the following standards:
·
IEEE 802.11 wireless Ethernet LAN standard
·
IEEE 802.1X port-based network access
control authentication standard
If
you use IEEE 802.11 wireless configuration and the network authentication
protocol IEEE 802.1X, user information and requests for action are displayed
through balloon notifications that appear in the notification area in the lower
right-hand corner of your screen.
After
you upgrade to Windows XP, however, this icon might not appear. After you
complete the installation, check to determine whether the icon appears. If it
does not appear, use the following procedure to correct this problem.
To
make the network icon appear in the notification area
1. Click Start, click Control Panel,
and then click Network and Internet Connections.
2. Click Network Connections.
3. Right-click the wireless connection, and then
click Properties.
4. On the General tab, select the Show
icon in notification area when connected check box.
Software Compatibility and SP2
For
information about software compatibility issues that can arise with SP2,
see Windows XP
Service Pack 2 Resources for IT Professionals on the Microsoft TechNet website.
You
must ensure that your antivirus software is written for the version of
Windows XP that your computer is running. This means that the software
must be written specifically for either Windows XP Home Edition or
Windows XP Professional, or for both operating systems.
Antivirus
drivers that are not written to run on your specific Windows XP operating
system might cause problems. For instance, the software might not be able to
perform real-time scanning for viruses, which could make your system more
vulnerable to virus attack.
The
problems that can result range in severity from those that are less severe—such
as recoverable errors—to problems that are quite severe—such as losing some or
all of your data, or having your computer become unusable.
To
prevent these problems, check your antivirus software to ensure that it is
designed for your operating system. If you have questions about this, or if you
discover that you need to obtain appropriate antivirus software, contact your
software vendor.
Windows XP
supports Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI) version 5.0 engines
and programs. To prevent a loss of functionality in Microsoft Agent
applications that use SAPI version 4.0 speech input or output engines, you must
install SAPI version 4.0a run-time support, and then reinstall the SAPI version
4.0 speech engines. You must do this even if they were working with Microsoft
Agent before you upgraded to Windows XP.
Use
the following link to install SAPI version 4.0a run-time support:
This
note pertains to Windows XP Professional only.
You
can configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service in
Windows XP to require clients to authenticate before issuing mail
commands. When you install or upgrade to Windows XP Professional in a
workgroup, the authentication options NTLM (formerly called
Windows NT LAN Manager) and Generic Security Services API (GSSAPI) do
not work because a registry key is set that forces guest-only authentication.
You
can solve this problem by setting the force guest authentication registry key.
For
more information, see article 304707, "SMTP Authentication Configuration
on Windows XP Professional Edition," in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Caution
·
Incorrectly editing the registry can
severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should
back up any valued data on the computer.
Local
device drive names (each of which is a letter of the alphabet) are usually
assigned incrementally, starting with the letter C (C, D, E, and so on).
Network drive names are automatically assigned in reverse order, starting with
Z (Z, Y, X, and so on).
Conflicts
between drive letters and existing network shared drives can arise if you
connect digital cameras or other devices that use memory sticks to
Windows XP while the computer is running. Similar conflicts can arise if
you add external drives (such as USB or 1394 disks). If a naming conflict
arises with an existing network shared drive, the device or external drive
becomes inaccessible.
To
prevent this problem, allow Windows to automatically assign network drive
names, or choose letters higher in the alphabet for your drive names.
Windows XP
does not support Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 Ftdisk volume sets.
If
you are running Microsoft Windows 2000, you must convert all Ftdisk volume
sets to dynamic volumes before you upgrade to Windows XP. If you are
running Windows NT 4.0, you should break all mirrored volumes and back up
all data on stripe, RAID5, or extended-volume sets before you upgrade to
Windows XP. Ftdisk sets might be inaccessible after you perform the
upgrade.
The
Microsoft virtual machine is no longer available. If you require Java support
when you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, you can acquire a Java
virtual machine from another vendor. For a list of vendors, see the Microsoft website.
