Chapter 7 - LAN Client Settings
Setting up Remote Access Clients
Dial-in connections to Windows NT, Novell and Unix servers require slightly different configurations.
This section discusses the settings necessary to connect a Windows 95/98/NT/2000 workstation to
these various servers.
Note: the Windows 2000 operating system has a Network Connection Wizard for making new
connections, shown on the last page of this section.
The basic process consists of installing a dial-up adapter and a network protocol. Then, depending on
the server to which you are connecting, you will likely need to install client software and specify the
particular services you would like to use.
Accessing a Windows NT Server
Windows NT Server combines the best aspects of an application server, a file and printer server, a
communications server, and a Web server, and its interoperability and management features make it
an excellent network operating system (NOS) for organizations, whether they have mixed computing
environments or operate entirely on Windows NT Server. Perform the following procedures when you
need to connect your PC workstation to a remote Windows NT Server.
Adding the dial-up adapter (NT Server Connection):
Windows 95/98:
1.
