Precautions
Please pay attention to the following
when using the network interface
board. When configuration is neces-
sary, follow the appropriate proce-
dures below.
Connecting a Dial-Up Router
to a Network
When using NetWare (file server)
If the NetWare file server and printer
are on opposite sides of a router, pack-
ets are sent back and forth continuous-
ly, possibly incurring communications
charges. Because packet transmission
is a feature of NetWare, you need to
change the configuration of the router.
If the network you are using does not
allow you to configure the router, con-
figure the machine instead.
