- FaxMail Network for Windows Installation
-
- Installing or reinstalling the shareware version of FaxMail Network for
- Windows:
-
- Be sure to get the newest version from our www-page.
-
- Be sure to log on as the administrator.
-
- Be sure that FaxMail has full read/write access.
-
- Be sure the time and date are the same on all computers on the network.
-
- To install FaxMail on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.xx, use <Start>, <Run>,
- <Browse> and browse to the directory where you UnZiped FaxMail and select
- INSTALL.EXE. Do not run INSTALL.EXE in any way other than the way just
- described.
-
- Install or reinstalling FaxMail without any programs or virus scanners
- running in the background. Be sure that, not even, FaxMail is running in
- the background. Be sure that the FaxMail INSTALL.EXE has read/write access
- to the HardDrive and all files. Otherwise some files may not get copied or
- modified. Re-boot immediately after installing.
-
- The install instructions are in the INSTALL.EXE.
-
- Be very careful when asked for this computerÆs HardDrive. This computerÆs
- HardDrive should usually be C: drive. If installing on a network you will
- select the Server HardDrive later.
-
- If installing on a standalone computer, do nothing. If installing on a
- network, the Server HardDrive is the mapped drive that all instances on
- FaxMail will be using as their [Server HardDrive]. Do not map to FAXMAILN
- directory.
-
- You may need to reinstall all workstations. Be VERY careful when asked for
- THIS COMPUTERS HardDrive and then for the SERVER HardDrive. THIS COMPUTERS
- HardDrive is normaly C: drive.
-
- If you have mapped the workstation 2 SERVER HardDrive to the
- ServerDriveLetter:\FAXMAILN, it will not work. You will need to re-map it
- to ServerDriveLetter:\
-
- You can use paths if you are good with mapping directories.
-
- To learn how to map to a directory instead of the root of a server drive,
- go to www.ElectraSoft.com, the bottom of [Run FaxMail Network for Windows
- as an NT Service] and read the message thread on this subject.
-
- You may want to dedicate a whole server drive to FaxMail.
-
- After final installation:
- If you have installed FaxMail two or more times; once on one HardDrive
- and once on another, go to the <printers> and be sure that the ?:\TOFAX
- port is correct. Where ? is the HardDriveLetter that FaxMail is installed
- on.
-
- FaxMail Convert to Fax MUST use ?:\TOFAX as its port!
-
- Be sure you do *NOT* have a directory or file called ?:\TOFAX on the
- system.
-
- Do not share the FaxMail Convert to Fax on ?:\TOFAX. Each station has
- its own.
-
- All versions of Windows except NT will have the FaxMail Convert to Fax
- available now.
-
- If you have Windows NT, go to the Printer-Installer and create the
- [FaxMail NT Convert to Fax] as per the FaxMail README instructions. The
- section you want to read is called WINDOWS NT.
-
- Thousands of people are using FaxMail. You can too:-)
