Network Connections
Logical Connection
After the physical connection to the network is made, you must make a logical connection to access the network services.
To make the logical connection on a NetWare network, you must prove that you are an authorized user. This is done when you log in to the network and provide the NetWare operating system your user identification and a valid password. By logging in to a network or attaching to a server, you make a logical connection.
