10.1.3 WINS and Dial-Up TCP/IP Networking Clients

Dial-up TCP/IP networking clients provide remote networking for telecommuters, mobile workers, and system administrators who monitor and manage servers at multiple branch offices. Users of dial-up TCP/IP networking on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT computers can dial in to remotely access their networks for services such as file and printer sharing, electronic mail, scheduling, and database access.

Both Windows 95/98 and Windows NT support routing TCP/IP traffic over dial-up TCP/IP connections through several different types of dial-up TCP/IP networking servers, including the following:

●UNIX system servers that support either of the industry-standard point-to-point protocol (PPP) or serial line IP (SLIP) dial-up TCP/IP networking standards.

●Windows NT remote access service (RAS) servers.

●Third-party remote access service servers that support PPP and/or SLIP connections, such as those that are available from CISCO, 3COM, and Bay Networks.

Dial-up Windows 95/98 and Windows NT computers that are configured to route TCP/IP also can be configured to use WINS servers. For details, see your Windows 95/98 and Windows NT documentation.

Dial-up Windows 95/98 and Windows NT computers that are configured to route TCP/IP and use WINS can access remotely their networks for services, including Advanced Server and Windows NT file and print sharing, electronic mail, scheduling, and database access.
