Installing AppleShare IP 6.0
Whether you are upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare or installing it for the first
time, you need to follow the instructions in this chapter.
This chapter tells you how to
m plan your AppleShare IP services
m prepare your computer’s environment and software
m install AppleShare IP 6.0
Note: Your server should already be set up and connected to your network. If your server or
network is not set up, set it up before continuing with this chapter.
Planning Your AppleShare IP Services
Depending on the services you plan to provide to your users and on how your network is set
up, you’ll need to answer the following questions before you install AppleShare IP.
m Will your clients be connecting to the AppleShare IP server via AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or both?
m What types of clients are on your network—Mac OS, Windows, UNIX?
m What type of physical connection (for example, Ethernet or LocalTalk) does your
AppleShare IP server have to your intranet or the Internet?
m What is your server’s IP address, subnet mask, router address, and name server address?
m Does your network have a computer that is providing Domain Name System (DNS)
service?
Important The AppleShare IP 6.0 license agreement allows you to install and use the server
software (or the individual components thereof ) on a single computer. This agreement
allows you to install the individual server programs on different computers; it does not allow
you to install the same server software on more than one computer at a time. To install the
server software on more than one computer, you need to purchase additional copies of the
software. For more information, see the license agreement that appears when you install the
AppleShare IP 6.0 software.
