Before you use the network, you should give your computer a name and name yourself as its owner.

1.Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and open the Sharing Setup icon.

vIf you can’t find or can’t open the Sharing Setup icon: Check whether the Sharing Setup icon is in the Control Panels folder and the File Sharing and Network icons are in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder. If not, or if you still have problems, use the Installer to install the AppleTalk software. See the chapter on setting up your programs for more information. v

2.Type your name in the box labeled Owner Name and press Tab.

3.Type your password in the box labeled Owner Password and press Tab.

Your password can be up to eight characters long. Remember the capitalization you use. After you press Tab, your password is replaced by bullets (•) so no one can read it.
