Configuration Network

Windows Network (NetBIOS TCP/IP)

TCP/IP is used for Windows (i.e. Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows for
Workgroups) printing unless another protocol like IPX is available. Therefore,
mandatory TCP/IP settings (i.e. IP address and subnet mask) are necessary
on the NIC. Go to "TCP/IP Network" on this form to fill in these settings if you
have not done so already.

Workgroup Name

This name specifies which Windows workgroup the NIC resides.

Novell Network

Protocol

Defines the packet structure of transmitted data or the control commands that
manage the session, or both.

FrameType

This option determines which framing scheme will be used in processing
Novell signals. The different types of Ethernet packet formats include:

Auto Sensing

Ethernet II

Ethernet 802.3

Ethernet 802.2 (the default)

802.2 Snap

Service Type

Allows you to change the Nest Server. The options are:

Binary

NDS

Auto

File Server

Define a Novell file server for the NIC to service as either a PSERVER or an
RPRINTER.

NDS

NDS (Novell Directory Services) is a distributed database of network
information. An NDS contains information that defines every object on the
network. For more information please see your Novell administrator.
