Address Books tab to view the contents of your address books and connect to the computers you have
saved.
To save a computer to an address book, select it on the TCP/IP or Recent Connections tab and click the
Copy to Address Book button. You may also save the list of computers found by the Scanner and copy
addresses from one address book to another.
Note: In some situations, such as if your organization uses dynamic TCP/IP addressing, a remote com-
puter’s TCP/IP address may change frequently. In this situation, you may not want to store IP addresses
in Timbuktu’s address books. Use the Internet Locator email address instead.
Step 2: Selecting the Timbuktu Service
Once you have selected the computer to which you wish to connect, select a Timbuktu service from the
Services menu or click a service button on the Timbuktu Service Toolbar to connect to the selected
computer using that service. You may also right-click the target computer to open a shortcut menu,
from which you can choose the service to launch.
If you have saved the remote computer to an address book, or if it appears on the Recent Connections
tab, you can also connect to the computer by double-clicking it. The Timbuktu connection will then be
established using the default service. In an address book, the default service is the service specified in
the computer’s connection properties. On the Recent Connections tab, the default service is the ser-
vice used during the last connection.
Step 3: Entering Access Credentials and Completing the
Connection
Once you have selected a computer and a Timbuktu service, the connection process will begin. If the
service you have selected is assigned to your NT User account, the connection will be completed auto-
matically. Otherwise, the Log In dialog box will appear on your screen.
