Using Network Client with Microsoft Windows

This section contains information about configuring Microsoft Windows so that it runs with Network Client.

Note

Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT include their own network client capabilities, so you should not run Network Client with them.

To use Microsoft Windows with Network Client, you must install the full redirector, and you must start it with the net start full command before starting Windows.

To configure Windows to run with Network Client

1. Start Windows.

2. In the Main group, choose the Windows Setup icon.

The Windows Setup window appears. It lists your current display, keyboard, mouse, and network settings.

3. From the Options menu, choose Change System Settings.

The Change System Settings dialog box appears.

4. Open the list for the Network setting by clicking the arrow to the right of it. Or press TAB until you select the Network setting, and then press ALT+DOWN ARROW to open the list.

5. Click Microsoft Network (or 100% compatible), or select it by pressing the up arrow or DOWN ARROW key.

6. Click OK.

Setup may prompt you to insert a Windows Setup disk in drive A. If it does, insert the disk. However, if the file for the Microsoft Network device driver is in a directory on your hard disk, you can type its path in the box instead.

7. Choose the OK button.
