10.1.3 WINS and Dial-Up TCP/IP Networking Clients
Dial-up TCP/IP networking clients provide remote networking for telecommuters, mobile
workers, and system administrators who monitor and manage servers at multiple branch
offices. Users of dial-up TCP/IP networking on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT computers
can dial in to remotely access their networks for services such as file and printer sharing,
electronic mail, scheduling, and database access.
Both Windows 95/98 and Windows NT support routing TCP/IP traffic over dial-up TCP/IP
connections through several different types of dial-up TCP/IP networking servers, including
the following:
● UNIX system servers that support either of the industry-standard point-to-point protocol
(PPP) or serial line IP (SLIP) dial-up TCP/IP networking standards.
● Windows NT remote access service (RAS) servers.
● Third-party remote access service servers that support PPP and/or SLIP connections,
such as those that are available from CISCO, 3COM, and Bay Networks.
Dial-up Windows 95/98 and Windows NT computers that are configured to route TCP/IP
also can be configured to use WINS servers. For details, see your Windows 95/98 and
Windows NT documentation.
Dial-up Windows 95/98 and Windows NT computers that are configured to route TCP/IP
and use WINS can access remotely their networks for services, including Advanced Server
and Windows NT file and print sharing, electronic mail, scheduling, and database access.
