Danware Data A/S has released NetOp Remote Control Version 6.5, which adds full support for Windows 2000 PC’s in addition to support for Windows NT, 98/95, Windows 3.1x, DOS and OS/2. NetOp Remote Control v6.5 continues to improve on the product’s position as a leading corporate remote control solution by adding integration with Windows security management and a new two-tier push technology for fast and easy software deployment and distribution to target PCs. The new version also provides additional remote connectivity options and a marker mode enabling a user to ‘draw’ on the remote PC to highlight items or for training purposes.

• Full support for Windows 2000 implemented
• Integration with Windows security management (integration with NT security)
• Host connectivity - More ways to connect a Guest to a Host has been implemented, making NetOp more flexible and easier to use. Now possible to connect via User Name (Windows log on name), DNS Name and Host ID.
• Long DNS name support - NetOp can accept DNS names up to 255 characters long. E.g. peter.jensen.danware.dk 
• TCP - New communication device implemented called TCP. This device use TCP. (UDP device still being the default TCP/IP device). Many firewalls prevent UDP calls but permit TCP calls, so this new communication device will make it easier to connect through firewalls.
• Infrared (IrDA) - New Infrared protocol implemented. Connect to PCs via Infrared communication and remote control, transfer files, etc. much faster than using e.g. a null-modem cable. Uses Windows built-in support for Infrared communication.
• Auto setting of MTU size to avoid "black screen" problem. The result is also increased speed, as NetOp automatically will find the largest packet size possible to use.
• If TCP/IP receive port is set to 0 then NetOp will automatically find a free port. This makes it possible to run multiple Guests simultaneously in a Terminal Server environment.
• NetOp deployment module a new module that can make installation of NetOp modules easier by using "push" technology. For example: Distribute / install NetOp hosts onto networked NT or 2000 PCs where there is no NetOp module running or distribute / install NetOp hosts onto Windows PCs that already have NetOp Host running. Win 2000, NT, 98 and 95 PCs.
• Marker mode - Draw on remote screen to highlight areas of interest, e.g. during a support session.
• Notification feature on Host- Audio warning and / or display of information box upon remote control
• Transfer of keyboard flags - Setting to prevent keyboard flags being passed from Guest to Host.
• Access Server on Host side enhancements.
• New buttons in the Guest module - Send Crtl-Alt-Del, Send / Receive clipboard, Marker mode.
• New defaults for the Guest and Host modules
• And more...
