Turning networking on and off

Both the AppleTalk control panel and the TCP/IP control panel allow you
to turn off AppleTalk and TCP/IP, respectively.

To turn off AppleTalk or TCP/IP:

1

Open the appropriate control panel.

To turn off TCP/IP, open the TCP/IP control panel. To turn off AppleTalk,
open the AppleTalk control panel.

2

Choose User Mode from the control panel’s File menu and click the
Advanced or the Administration button. Then click OK.

3

In the control panel, click the Options button.

The TCP/IP Options dialog box appears. (The AppleTalk Options dialog
box appears if you opened the AppleTalk control panel in step 1.)

Note: The TCP/IP Options dialog box allows you to configure TCP/IP so
that it loads only when it is needed. For Workgroup Servers that frequently
connect to TCP/IP networks, the “Load only when needed” option should
not be selected (an “X” should not appear in the box). That is, TCP/IP
should be configured so that it is always loaded.

4

To make the protocol inactive, click the Inactive button and then click
OK.

AppleTalk or TCP/IP (depending on the control panel that you opened)
becomes inactive immediately. To turn AppleTalk or TCP/IP on again, click
the Active button.
