DynamIP v3.0 beta 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Please refer to the information available at
      http://www.stanford.edu/~cmu/DynamIPsetup.htm#requirements
      for last minute tips on installing this beta.

Installation:
  Note that DynamIP v3.0 is internally radically different from
  previous versions. You do NOT need the Internet Control Pack
  (ICP) anymore (insiders know the story <grin>), but you must
  download a few other ActiveX controls and DLLs to get the all
  new DynamIP v3.0 to work. 
         http://www.stanford.edu/~cmu/files/OCXv30.zip
         http://www.stanford.edu/~cmu/files/DLLv30.zip

  1) Only if you have an older version of DynamIP installed,
     you should
         - make a backup copy of DynamIP.INI and all the
           customized html files (e.g. DynamIP_.htm, etc.)
         - unregister and backup the control tabctl32 and
           then remove it from your ...\Windows\System
           directory (DynamIP v3.0 uses a newer version)

  2) Download the file OCXv30.zip and unzip its contents to
     some temporary directory, and then run the file setup.exe
     (this should install and register all the ActiveX controls
     and some of the DLLs)

  3) If you don't have all of the following DLL files you have
     to download the file DLLv30.zip and unzip the missing files
     to your ...\Windows\System directory:
             - msvcrt20.dll
             - msvcrt40.dll
             - vb40032.dll
             - wininet.dll
             - winmm.dll

  4) Copy all the files contained in DynamIPv30.zip to the directory
     where you want to install DynamIP v3.0. You can install into the
     same directory where you had an older version of DynamIP. Although
     the new INI file has a slightly different structure the old settings
     should mostly work in DynamIP v3.0

  5) Start DynamIP.exe and see what happens. I anticipate quite a few
     problems with some of the configurations, but try to fix some of
     issues yourself before you swamp me with e-mail. You're dealing
     with lots of new code and things are bound to be a bit shaky in
     the beginning. If you get an error message "Error Loading from file"
     you probably had some older versions of certain ActiveX controls
     already on your system. Unregister them with
         C:\Windows\System\regsvr32 /u <ControlName><Enter>
     where you replace <ControlName> with the appropriate name of the
     control (e.g. tabctl32.ocx); then you move the old control to some
     temporary directory (in case you change your mind), and then you 
     try again to install OCXv30. Please check information available at

Enjoy,
