Chapter 1

What types of client computers are on your network—Mac OS, Windows, UNIX

What types of physical connections (for example, Ethernet or LocalTalk) does your
AppleShare IP server have to your intranet or the Internet?

What is your server’s IP address, subnet mask, router address, and name server address?
You must assign the server a static IP address.

Does your network have a computer that provides Domain Name System (DNS) service,
or will you install this service? (DNS service is required for AppleShare IP mail service.)

Setting Up Control Panels

You need to be sure the following control panels are set up properly. If you need instructions
on how to set up any of the control panels, open the Help menu on your server and choose
Mac Help.

Enter an owner name and password in the Network Identity section of the File Sharing
control panel. After you install AppleShare IP, you use the owner name and password to
administer the server.

Set up your AppleTalk network connection in the AppleTalk control panel.

Set up the TCP/IP control panel. This is where you need to enter your server’s static IP
address, subnet mask, router address, and name server address.

If you plan to use a modem to connect to the Internet, you also need to set up the
Remote Access control panel for modem access.

Note: If your server uses a modem for TCP/IP connections, only AppleTalk-based services
will be available on your local network unless you have an Internet router.

Make sure the settings are accurate in the Date & Time control panel.
