Windows Net
LANtastic for Windows(TM) puts the ease of LANtastic into the Windows
graphic interface. The Icon driven NET menu gives you access to the
commands necessary to login or out of the network resources, manage the
printer-queue and to access the Mail and Chat features of LANtastic.
If you need a 5-1/4 inch disk drive simply click on the appropriate server
icon under "Drive Resources" and drag it to the "Current Connections" area
of the screen. You can now read data from a 5-1/4 drive on that server.
Need access to a servers C-drive? The procedure is the same.
One of LANtastic's best features is sharing CD-ROM drives across the
network. If you need to access information on a CD-ROM click on the
servers CD-ROM drive and drag it to connect it to your node. No
additional harware or software is needed.
To connect a drive, you simply point to the resource icon,...
... click,...
... and drag it to the appropriate connection on your node.
Connecting a printer is accomplished in the same manner.
To connect to LANtastic's E-Mail feature simply click on the Mail
Icon...
...and double-click on the mail you desire to read.
To login or logout from a server click on the Login/Out Icon,...
Select or type in an appropriate server from the Available Servers
or Current Logins list,...
...click on Login or Logout...
...then OK. It's that easy to login or logout from any server.
The Account Icon lets you manage individual account's access rights,
time and day of login, and other features needed to control access.
The Server Mgt Icon lets you access servers on the network to
accomplish specific management tasks.
One option is a graphical display showing a specific server's statistics.
This feature is invaluable in determining if a certain server is being
under or over utilized.

necessary to manage the network.

Choosing Resources enables you to designate the specific resources that
you will make available to users on the network and what rights they
will have.

just a few of the parameters that can be set from this window.

and printer queue maintenance are also available from this group of
icons.
