======================================== User and Share-level security: User level requires a server for validation (NT server but can be Netware); so usually can get rid of a few things that involve stand-alone computers and security. Win95 supports hot-swapping: suprisingly not alot of online sites seem to figure that one out: don't have to re-start anything, just pull out your PC Card and put in the new one, no shut-downs required. Know policies and profiles! Quick help: policies are used on the network, profiles for stand-alone...can use System Policy Editor (poledit.exe) on stand-alone machine, but use in registry mode..creates (alters) user.dat files for eash user (this is great if you have kids by the way). Get familiar with NETSETUP. Used for server installations for Win95. Never had to use a switch with it yet. Renaming the USER.DAT file to USER.MAN on the network can prevent a novice user from accidently changing things on their computer. Connecting a Win95 computer to a Netware server? Just drag the print queue from Network Neighborhood to the printers folder to use Point-n-Print. PING tells you if TCP/IP is working over the connection. Doesn't mean that the DNS servers' IP is right tho. COMM.DRV in the system.ini file is the biggest cause of problems with win16 apps connecting with the modem. Detcrash.txt is created if setup fails. Detlog.txt is made if problems occur during hardware detection (DETection). Setuplog.txt is if before detection. Questions about frame-type usually mean IPX/SPX (supports auto detection). Windows for Workgroups doesn't support LFN (Long File Names). Computer wants to access Netware, NT, and internet. What do you use for protocols? TCP/IP and IPX/SPX are both routable protocols and would be your best bet. **I found the Win95 Resource Kit to be a BIG help with alot of the networking stuff. Altho it took me a while to find it online tho, so lucky you, I'm going to tell you where it is now*** http://msdn.microsoft.com/library Also a great site for trouble-shooting your Win95 computer problems. Way beyond the normal W95 help files. Want to ask me anything or just get a hold of me? Well, here's my email: thopkins@futuregateways.com |
