Step 3:

Name your computer on the network

If you are on an AppleTalk network, the name of your computer appears in
the AppleTalk catalog, and people can send you mail at that “address” without
the need for a PowerShare server. If you name your computer clearly in the
Sharing Setup control panel, people can find your address more easily. Many
people use their own names in naming their computers (for example,
“Sarabeth Herman’s Macintosh”).

To check the name of your computer, follow these steps:

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu.

2

Open Sharing Setup.

3

Add any missing information, or change the current information by selecting and
retyping.

Make sure that the name in the Macintosh Name text field is accurate; this
information defines your network identity.

IMPORTANT

If you have more than one computer on the same network, be

certain that the computer names are different.
