Connection Types
Laplink allows many different methods to connect to other
LapLink computers. To learn more about ways to connect
using LapLink Gold Corporate listed below, go to
”How can I
connect to other computers?
Network: Available Now
Use this connection type if the computer you are connecting
to normally appears in the list of available computers when
you use Connect over LAN (Network).
Network: TCPIP Address
Use this connection type if you want to connect to this com-
puter using a TCPIP address.
Internet Address
This connection type uses the address that the host com-
puter has published to the ILS server, such as Jane-
[email protected].
Modem
Use Modem if you use a modem on your machine to con-
nect directly to a modem on this user's machine. Simply
enter in the modem number in the Phone Number fields.
Cable
LapLink Gold Corporate accepts use of parallel, serial, or
USB cable as connection types.
NOTE It is generally not necessary to create an address
book entry for cable connections, as LapLink Gold Corpo-
rate asutomatically creates the connection when the
cables are attached (by default).
Firewall
If the host computer is behind a firewall or router, LapLink
offers an alternative to opening ports and configuring the
firewall by creating a persistent connection to the LapLink
server. To learn more, please go to the online tutorial http://
laplink.com/tutorials/firewall.asp for detailed instruction on
this connection type.
LapLink Everywhere
LapLink Everywhere is another connection type offered. To
use LapLink Everywhere as a connection type, LapLink
Gold Corporate must be running on both the client and host
computers, and LapLink Everywhere must be installed and
running on the Host computer.
LapLink Everywhere offers great flexibility by also allowing
you to access other LapLink hosts via a browser.
