Chapter 8. Conﬁguring the Computers on Your Network

8.1. What Order to do Things

For efﬁciency, we recommend you conﬁgure your desktop computers in the following order:

Step 1: First, conﬁgure one of your desktop computers to work with TCP/IP (using the information in this chapter).

Step 2: With TCP/IP up and running on one of your computers, you can now access the server manager over the web and create your employees’

user accounts. The next chapter, On-going Administration Using the server manager, explains this simple process.

Step 3: Once e-mail accounts are created, you can ensure that all the computers on your network are conﬁgured for TCP/IP, e-mail, web browsing

and LDAP (using the information in this chapter).

Note: If you already have e-mail accounts set up with your ISP, you will need to do things in a different order to ensure continuous e-mail service to

your site. See our online HOWTO document titled Transitioning From a Prior E-mail System available at

http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/emailtransition-howto.html

This chapter helps you conﬁgure software and hardware supplied by other companies and for that reason is not as speciﬁc as the rest of this guide.

Given the wide range of computers, operating systems and software applications, we cannot accurately explain the process of conﬁguring each of

them. If your computers and applications came with manuals, they might be useful supplements to this chapter. Technical problems encountered in

networking your desktop computers and applications are best resolved with the vendors who support them for you.

Important: This chapter demonstrates only one of the many possible ways to conﬁgure your client computers and is provided here as an example.

You should consult with your authorized reseller to determine the most appropriate ways to conﬁgure your client computers.

8.2. Conﬁguring Your Desktop Operating System

The dialog box where you conﬁgure your desktop differs from operating system to operating system and version to version. As an example, in

Microsoft Windows 95 or 98, client conﬁguration occurs in the "Properties" dialog box associated with the TCP/IP protocol for your ethernet

adapter. To get there, go to the "Control Panel" and select "Network". If a TCP/IP protocol is not yet associated with your ethernet adapter, you may

need to add one before you can conﬁgure its properties with the following information.

Note: For a more complete example of conﬁguring a Windows 95 client, see our HOWTO document online at

http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/wintcpip-howto.html

Item Description What to enter

enable TCP/IP protocol All your computers must communicate on the network

using the TCP/IP protocol.

In Windows you add a TCP/IP protocol. In Apple,

open TCP/IP Control Panel.

disable non-TCP/IP

protocols

Unless an application relies on a non- TCP/IP protocol,

disable all other protocols.

Turn "off" other networking protocols (e.g. NetBeui,

etc.)

enable DHCP service See section below In Windows, enable "Obtain an IP address service

automatically". In Apple, select "DHCP server".

Note: We strongly recommend that you conﬁgure all clients machines using DHCP rather than manually using static IP addresses. Should you

ever need to change network settings or troubleshoot your network later, you will ﬁnd it much easier to work in an environment where addresses

are automatically assigned.

On a Windows 95/98 system, the window will look like the image below.
