Invisible LAN Operating System
for Windows Me
Version 4.00K

This is the Windows Me version of the Invisible LAN Operating System. The actual software is the same as the Windows 95/98 version of Invisible LAN, but the setup procedure has been changed so that it installs properly under Windows Me. Also, the documentation has been updated for Windows Me.

The Windows Me version supports almost any Ethernet or Token Ring board that has a Windows Me protected-mode driver. This includes boards manufactured by Invisible Software, and boards manufactured by other companies.

This software includes support for all released builds of Windows 95 and Windows 98, in addition to supporting Windows Me.

The Invisible LAN operating system has many features, including:

• Native 32-bit protected-mode network software for Windows 95, 98, and Me.
• Multithreaded file server, print server, and redirector.
• Supports long filenames and FAT32 volumes.
• Drive and printer mapping, file sharing, and record locking.
• Print spooling with remote viewing and management of print queues.
• Network polling, browsing, and diagnostics.
• Security system with password protection, user- and group-based permissions, and directory-level access controls.
• Remote management of server functions, including statistics and security.
