===========

AdapterWatch displays useful information about your network adapters: IP
addresses, Hardware address, WINS servers, DNS servers, MTU value, Number
of bytes received or sent, The current transfer speed, and more. In
addition, it displays general TCP/IP/UDP/ICMP statistics for your local
computer.



System Requirements
===================

This utility works perfectly on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. You can also
use this utility on Windows 98/ME, but under these operating systems,
some of the adapter information may not be displayed properly.



Using AdapterWatch
==================

AdapterWatch doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs.
Just copy the executable (awatch.exe) to any folder you like, and run it.
The main window of AdapterWatch displays the current configuration and
information about your network adapters. You can also view general
TCP/IP/UDP/ICMP statistics for your local computer, by clicking the
desired tab.



Release/renew IP address
========================

On 'Network Adapters' tab, you can also release and renew IP addresses
obtained through DHCP server. In order to do that, select the desired
network adapter by clicking on its header, and then from the File menu
(or from the popup menu), choose the desired action.



Translating AdapterWatch To Another Language
============================================

AdapterWatch allows you to easily translate all menus, dialog-boxes, and
other strings to other languages.
In order to do that, follow the instructions below:
1. Run AdapterWatch with /savelangfile parameter:
   awatch.exe /savelangfile
   A file named awatch_lng.ini will be created in the folder of
   AdapterWatch utility.
2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text
   editor.
3. Translate all menus, dialog-boxes, and string entries to the
   desired language.
4. After you finish the translation, Run AdapterWatch, and all
   translated strings will be loaded from the language file.

   the language file, or move it to another folder.
