Microsoft PowerPoint 97 For Windows
SUMMARY
Although Presentation Conference was designed for use across networks
using the TCP/IP protocol, it is also possible to do a Presentation
Conference on a peer-to-peer basis using computers that are connected
by cable.
MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: Before you perform the following procedure, make sure both computers
have a Direct Cable Connection and that TCP/IP is installed. For more
information, please consult Windows Help or your printed documentation.
To ensure that two or more computers can conference via cabling,
manually modify each computer's TCP/IP protocol properties. To do this,
follow these steps:
- On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
- Double-click the Network icon.
- Click the Configuration tab.
- From the list of installed network components, click TCP/IP, and
then click Properties.
- Click the IP Address tab and then do the following:
- Click Specify An IP Address.
- Provide one of the following IP Addresses:
- For presenter: 20 20 20 1
- For audience: 20 20 20 2
The value in the IP box identifies the IP address for your
local computer or, if more than one network card is installed,
for the network adapter card selected in the Adapter box.
- Provide a Subnet Mask:
- For both presenter and audience: 255 255 255 0
NOTE: The value in the Subnet Mask box identifies the network
membership for the selected network adapter and its host ID.
The system uses this value to separate the IP address into host
and network IDs.
- Click OK two times.
- If you are prompted to Restart Windows, click Yes.
- Disable the Windows NT domain network property. To do this, follow
these steps:
- On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
- Double-click the Network icon.
- Click the Configuration tab.
- Choose Client for Microsoft Networks, and click Properties.
- Clear the Log On To Windows NT domain check box.
- Click OK.
