We recommend you to check through the following items before you run WinRoute installation:
•
Time of the operating system should be set correctly (for timely operating system and
antivirus upgrades, etc.)
•
The latest service packs and any Microsoft recommended security updates should be
applied.
•
TCP/IP parameters should be set for all available network adapters
•
All network connections (both to the local network and to the Internet) should function

Note: Basic installation of all supported operating systems include all components required
for smooth functionality of WinRoute.
