---------------------------------------
The installation program automatically updates the files necessary
to configure your network. When you click on the "Drive" icon...
---------------------------------------
...a screen called "Drive Connections" appears. Here is where you
redirect the drive resources you need from servers on the network to
your computer.
When you click on the "Printer" icon...
---------------------------------------
...a "Printer Connections" screen appears. Here is where you select
the printer you want to direct to your computer.
---------------------------------------
After you choose a machine name, you need to decide whether you
want your machine to be a server or a workstation. If you choose
"workstation," other machines cannot share its resources. By
choosing "server," your machine will be able to share its resources
with other computers on the network.
---------------------------------------
If you indicate that you wish to "Install Default Resources and Group
Account," LANtastic will automatically set up your disk driver and
LPT1 port as shared resources. This will also set up a "*" group
account that will let any user log in, using any user name and
password. By not invoking this command, you can designate which
resources you will make available, and specify who can use them.
---------------------------------------
When you choose the "Directory" icon, the installation and Control
Directory screen will appear. You may choose a different directory
name, but we recommend you accept the default names.
---------------------------------------
The "Startup" icon gives you the option to let LANtastic build your
STARTNET.BAT file. Or you can choose "Do Not Build" and create your
own STARTNET.BAT file after installation. We recommend you let
LANtastic build your file.
---------------------------------------
Choose the network adapter type and driver you are using by
scrolling through the choices until you find the correct adapters and
drivers. In most cases, you should leave the driver choice at "ALL,"
the default setting.
---------------------------------------
The "Drives" and "Printers" icons, under the Resource Connections"
heading, allow you to set up disk drive and printer connections to
servers. These connections are created whenever you run the
"Startup Batch File."
---------------------------------------
Choosing the "System" icon gives you options that allow you to
specify the settings for your computer's CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
---------------------------------------
Once you have used the "Preview" icon to check your choices, click
on the "Go" button to install your LANtastic for Windows Network
Operating System. It's that simple.
