Version 2.0 includes the following new features:

 

  • Revised Interface
    Minor user interface changes to improve the look, feel and use of the application.
     

  • Generic Remote Desktop Support
    Added capability for Win98/Me/NT/2000/XP for desk side service providers. Contact us for details, if you wish to use this software for your own customer support applications.
     

  • Data Encryption
    Data is now sent securely from your computer to our DNS and registration servers with industry standard 40-bit encryption. Users can also choose higher encryption levels in the software, from 128- to 256-bit encryption levels. The encryption code has been moved to its own plug-in,  providing for better export controls and allowing the encryption level to be easily increased by downloading an appropriate plug-in.
     

  • Multiple Interface Support
    If your computer is equipped with more than one network interface (network card), you can select which interface to use when sending updates to the PlanetDNS service providers. This allows you to select the routable IP address you want to associate with your domain name when you have multiple connections to the Internet.
     

  • Online Account Manager
    You can now make changes for your PlanetDNS Client online, by logging into the Customer Care Online section of our website. This is especially beneficial for users who have a large number of PlanetDNS Client accounts and prefer to manage them from a single location.
     

  • Plug-In Support
    Plug-in extensions can now be installed without the PlanetDNS Client software performing a complete re-initialization
     

  • Automatic Updates
    The automatic update feature can be enabled to download and optionally install newer versions of plug-in extensions.
