Checking and installing network protocols

Networking with MYOB Accounting Plus Overview > Putting it all together > Checking and installing network protocols

Special network protocols must be enabled to ensure that the programs you run on the network-including Accounting Plus-are able to communicate messages among the computers on the network. Your computers must be using the NetBIOS, the NetBEUI or the TCP/IP protocol.

When you create a company file in Accounting Plus and when you begin each session in Accounting Plus, you'll have the opportunity to specify which protocol you wish to use in multi-user mode-depending, of course, upon whether you have more than one protocol installed on your computer.

The first step in setting up your network software is to check to be sure that these protocols are installed and ready on your computers. If they're not, you'll need to install them.

To check protocols for computers running Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Me, see Checking and installing network protocols in Windows 95/98/2000 Me.

For computers running Windows 2000 Professional, see Checking network protocols in Windows 2000 Professional.

For computers running Windows NT 4.0, see Checking and installing network protocols in Windows NT 4.0.
