Apple releases Networking/AirPort updates
updated 08:20 pm EDT, Fri June 21, 2002
Apple has released Networking Update v1.0 via the Software Update Application in Mac OS X. The 716KB download improves network and Internet access after "restarting your computer or when waking from sleep." Apple also this evening released an update for its AirPort Wireless Software.
Details of the AirPort v2.0.4 Update
AirPort 2.0.4 software works with all versions of AirPort cards and base stations. If you are using Airport 2.0.4 with earlier versions of the Apple AirPort Card and/or Apple AirPort Base station, your hardware may be upgraded with new features and capabilities.
New features in AirPort 2.0.4:
There are many new features in AirPort 2.0.4 that require the Mac OS X version in order to configure. Once a base station has been updated with 3.0.4, Mac OS 9 clients will enjoy a subset of these features including...
Compatible with Windows clients that use Point PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) or IPSec (without authenticated headers) style VPN (Virtual Private Network).
The ability to dial into the base station through a standard PPP phone connection, allowing remote access to the base station and the computers on the AirPort wireless and wired network.
Multiple connections to port mapped services.
