“Everyone” includes everyone listed in the Users & Groups List (including Guest). Choosing
Read Only means any registered user or guest can view the contents of your Web Folder, but
they cannot change its contents. For descriptions of each privilege, see “Setting Up File
Sharing for the First Time” on page 49.
As the administrator of this computer, you are the default owner of all volumes and the
folders they contain. By default the owner has Read and Write access privileges (meaning you
can open or make changes to shared items).

Setting Up Windows File Sharing for the First Time
If you want any Windows or Windows NT computers to connect to your AppleShare IP server,
you need to configure your Web & File Server for Windows file sharing and make sure the
appropriate networking software is installed on your Windows clients.
In this section, you’ll learn how to set up a network in which all your Windows clients are in
the same subnet as your AppleShare IP Web & File Server. Your network administrator should
be able to tell you if they are in the same subnet.
If your Windows clients are not on the same subnet as the Web & File Server, you should
review this section, complete the instructions in the remainder of this manual, then set up
your network for AppleShare IP Windows file sharing following the instructions in the
Windows File Sharing section in the Web & File section in AppleShare IP Help.
Note: Windows file sharing can only be provided over TCP/IP. If you have not already set up
your TCP/IP control panel, follow the instructions in “Setting Up TCP/IP” on page 16 before
continuing with this section.
To set up Windows file sharing when your Windows clients are in the same subnet as the Web
& File Server, follow these steps:
1
Open the Web & File Admin program, if it’s not already open.
Click the “Open Web & File Admin” program button in the AppleShare IP Manager. Enter
your name and password in the Administer Web & File Server dialog box, then click OK.
The Web & File Admin program opens and the Web & File Server Activity window appears.
2
Choose Web & File Server Settings from the Server menu.
The Web & File Server Settings window appears.
3
Choose Windows File Sharing from the Web & File Server Settings pop-up menu.
