Setting Up Windows File Sharing for the First Time

If any Windows or Windows NT computers will connect to your AppleShare IP server, you
need to configure your Web & File Server for Windows file sharing and make sure the
appropriate networking software is installed on your Windows clients.

In this section, you’ll set up a network in which all your Windows clients are on the same
subnetwork (or subnet) as your AppleShare IP Web & File Server.

If your Windows clients are not on the same subnet as the Web & File Server, you should
read this section, complete the instructions in the remainder of this manual, then set up
your network for AppleShare IP Windows file sharing following the instructions in the
Windows File Sharing section in the Web & File section in AppleShare IP Help.

Note: Windows file sharing requires TCP/IP. If you have not already set up your TCP/IP
control panel, follow the instructions in “Setting Up TCP/IP” on page 15 before continuing
with this section.

To set up Windows file sharing when your Windows clients are on the same subnet as the
Web & File Server, follow these steps:

1

Open the Web & File Admin program.

Click the Web & File Admin button in the AppleShare IP Manager. Enter your name and
password in the dialog box, then click OK.

The Web & File Server Activity window appears.

2

Choose Web & File Server Settings from the Server menu.

The Web & File Server Settings window appears.

3

Choose Windows File Sharing from the Web & File Server Settings pop-up menu.
