Server Considerations

Configure the Remote Access Server (either Windows NT or a Shiva LanRover) to allow remote clients to request a predetermined IP address. To use this option in Windows NT:

1. In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon.

2. Click RAS, click Network, and click Server Settings.

3. Click TCP, and select the "Allow remote clients to request a predetermined IP address" check box.

Client Configuration

Install LAN Manager version 2.2c software on the client computer. This is located on the Windows NT 3.51 Server compact disc in the Clients\Lanman\Disks\Disk1\Setup directory.

NOTE: If LAN Manager has already been installed, run Setup.exe from the LAN Manager installation directory (Lanman.dos by default).

1. Configure LAN Manager with the following options:

       - TCP/IP (only) bound to the network card driver
   

       - A static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
   

       - DHCP disabled
   

2. Manually add entries for the Microsoft Exchange Server computer name and IP address in the HOSTS file. This file is located in the <drive>:\Lanman.dos\Etc directory, where <drive> is the letter of the local hard disk drive where LAN Manager is installed.

3. Configure LAN Manager with the following options:

       - Username and HostName in the Advanced dialog box
   

       - Windows Sockets enabled in the Advanced dialog box
   

       - Computername, Username, and Domain in the Workstation Settings
         dialog box
   

4. Install the Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client.

5. In the Config.sys file, manually add the following line:

         DEVICE=C:\EXCHANGE\DIALNDIS.EXE(after DEVICE=...\PROTMAN.DOS
         /i:C:\LANMAN.DOS)
   

6. In the Config.sys file, remark out or remove the line that loads the network card driver.

7. In the \Lanman.Dos\Protocol.ini file, manually edit the following:

   [TCPIP_XIF]

      ;BINDINGS = "LAN Card Driver"     Remark out this line
      BINDINGS = SDIALIN$               Add this line
   
      [SDIALIN$]                        Add this line
      DriverName = SDIALIN$             Add this line
   
   

1. On the Tools menu, click Port Setup to configure the modem port.

2. Click the Options button to select the IP protocol and type the static IP address of the client computer. For more information on creating and saving a connection file, refer to the ShivaRemote Online Guide.

3. Save the new connection information and quit the Connect.exe utility.

4. Restart the computer. If you receive any errors during startup, resolve these before continuing.

5. Open the connection file you want and click the Connect button. After the connection has been established, quit the Connect program. You should see the message regarding the static IP address. Make sure this is the same IP address which is statically assigned to the client computer.

6. Next, attempt to PING the IP address and host name of the computer running Microsoft Exchange Server. The PING.EXE utility is located in the \LANMAN.DOS\NETPROG directory. If PINGing the host name fails, but PINGing the IP address works, the HOSTS file must be modified (see Step 2 above). This step is necessary for the Microsoft Exchange client to connect to the server.

7. Start the Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client (online, as a test). Type the User Name (Exchange Mailbox Name), the Password (Windows NT Domain Password), and the Domain (Windows NT Domain Name that your account is in) and verify you can be properly logged in.

The Microsoft Exchange client remote capabilities can now be configured (remote mail or offline folders).

To set up the Microsoft Exchange client to automatically dial while working offline:

1. In Control Panel Mail-Fax, select the properties for Exchange Server in the profile and on the "dial up networking" tab.

2. Click the Shiva connection name that was tested in step 1 under "dial using the following connection."

3. Type the user name, password, and domain name in the dialog box.

NOTE: To disconnect, either run Connect.exe again and select Disconnect or type "connect /d" from the command line.

Sample Configuration Files

Use these Config.sys, Autoexec.bat, and Protocol.ini files as models.

NOTE: In order to format this article for the Web, some line breaks in this file sample had to be changed. In the Config.sys file, the following line should be part of the line that preceded it:

   /i:C:\LANMAN.DOS

REFRENCE

Updated modem scripts for use with ShivaRemote can be found on Shiva's web page at www.shiva.com under "support"/modem scripts.

Additional configuration information can also be found in the Config.hlp file installed during installation of the ShivaRemote software.
