IBM 19K5716 manual Problem solving

If the Internet protocol (TCP/IP) is used as the transport protocol for Microsoft networking, WINS and DHCP services can be installed on the Windows NT server. These services manage and assign of NetBIOS names and IP addresses where necessary. Neither service is absolutely essential, and both can be replaced by using LMHOSTS files and fixed IP address configuration on the workstations. Important WINS and DHCP configuration parameters are listed below:

•Install the WINS service on the RAS server or another server in the network by clicking on Network -> Properties -> Services -> Add -> WINS Service.

Install WINS Service with WINS Manager.

•Install the DHCP service on the RAS server or another server in the network by clicking on Network -> Properties -> Services -> Add -> DHCP server.

Install DHCP Service with DHCP Manager by clicking on Add Domain ->

Option Add Domain -> 003 router, 044 WINS/NBNS servers, 046 WINS/NBT node type.

The following configuration permits both DHCP and fixed IP addressing for RAS clients:

•Network -> Services-> Remote Access Service -> Properties... -> Port ISDN1 -> Network -> TCP/IP -> Configure: Use DHCP, Allow remote clients to request a predetermined IP address.

RAS Client with Windows 95 (Remote)

•Bind TCP/IP to Dial-Up Adapter: Obtain an IP address automatically Bindings / Client for Microsoft Networks

WINS Configuration: Use DHCP for WINS Resolution

•Dial-Up Networking: Server Type -> Allowed Network Protocols: TCP/IP;

Server-assigned IP address

Notes on using the network protocol NetBEUI

NetBEUI is a broadcast-oriented network protocol which is not routable. This means that its use in LANs and WANs is limited, but it is easy to configure in Microsoft networks.

Windows NT Server (Central Site)

The following configuration installs NetBEUI for RAS clients:

•Network -> Services -> Remote Access Service -> Properties... -> Port ISDN1 -> Network -> NetBEUI

RAS Client with Windows 95 (Remote)

•Network Setup: bind NetBEUI protocol (from Microsoft) to the Dial-Up Adapter

•Dial-Up Networking: Server type -> Allowed network protocols: NetBEUI
