LAN Server Prior to 4.0

Check the system configuration before installing Print Manager for TCP/IP printing. Every server and client must have the TCP/IP stack loaded before the server or client can send a print job to the printer server.

Verify OS/2 LAN Server is installed with the TCP/IP protocol stack.

1)Verify that a directory containing TCP/IP libraries and applications exists on the system.

2)If this entry is not present, refer to the LAN Server documentation for information on installing and enabling the TCP/IP protocol stack.

Verify the network interface card (NIC) is configured for TCP/IP.

3)Run the LAN Adapter and Protocol Support Utility.

4)Select CONFIGURE.

5)In CURRENT CONFIGURATION box, an entry for IBM TCP/IP protocol should be listed under each appropriate adapter or interface card (NIC).

6)If this entry is not present, refer to LAN Server documentation for information on how to configure and enable the TCP/IP protocol stack.

NOTE: NetBios does not need preinstallation chekout.
