extended ASCII characters may not display correctly in certain
languages. This issue occurs because the browser is set to the
UTF-8 character set by Server Administrator. To correct this issue,
change the browser character coding to ISO-8859-1. For Japanese
and Chinese, UTF-8 is the correct encoding for RAC pages.

DRAC III ISSUES FOR WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEMS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
* A dial-up network connection to the remote access controller is
established by the RAC managed system software installer. The RAC
software will not work if this dial-up connection is deleted or if
a proxy is set up in the Internet settings. An InstallPPP utility
is provided with the RAC software to restore the RAC PPP
connection. This utility can also correct Internet connection
problems with proxy server settings, when using the Windows 2003
operating system. You can run the utility from the Windows command
prompt with the argument "CreateRACConnection" as shown below:
c:\>installPPP CreateRACConnection
* Applications that use InstallShield 3.x to install software may
take longer to install if RAC Services are running. To reduce the
software installation time, stop RAC Services before performing the
installation. Restart RAC Services after the installation is
complete.
* Due to functional details that are specific to Windows Dynamic DNS
servers, the RAC internal PPP IP address is broadcast to the
Dynamic DNS service on servers running Windows. The Dynamic DNS
service stores that particular IP address in its DNS look-up table
and associates it with the name of the system that hosts the RAC.
This action causes problems with Active Directory under Windows.
The default value for a RAC's internal PPP IP address is
192.168.234.235, but the address can be changed by the user. This
issue is a known problem, and there is an article and a hot fix
available from Microsoft. The Knowledge Base article number is
Q292822. Downloading the hot fix and implementing the steps in the
article will solve the problem.
* If you have used the "Systems Management Consoles" CD version 3.1,
or earlier, to install RAC management station software on any
system running a Windows operating system, you must remove any
previous versions of the RAC management station software before
