SUMMARY
=======

Visual C++ was not designed and tested as a network application.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Be aware of the following when using Microsoft Visual C++ on a networked
system:

- Microsoft Visual C++ is not designed as a networked application. Thus,
  running Visual C++ from a server is not part of Microsoft's design or test
  specifications.

- Visual C++ is designed and tested to be run "locally" or from your computer's
  hard drive or CD-ROM drive.

- Microsoft Visual C++ adheres to the requirements of Microsoft operating
  systems. It is not tested outside of those specifications.

Given the above statements, Visual C++ can successfully be used in many different
configurations and network systems. If you encounter problems, please consider
the following:

- Does the problem also occur if Visual C++ and its projects are run locally?
  If this is true, you may have a problem with your network drivers. Before
  calling your vendor, you should try to verify whether the system is set up
  correctly.

- Is the problem something that falls outside of specifications of Microsoft
  operating systems? For example, Microsoft operating systems directories are
  not case-sensitive.

- Is the networking driver shipped by Microsoft? If not, you should contact the
  networking software vendor.
