TCP/IP Configuration Notebook Online Help


Logging in to the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook

If you plan to configure another computer from a remote location: find out the host name or IP address of that computer and obtain its TCP/IP Administrator password from the owner. For remote administration you will have to start the TCP/IP Configuration Server Program on the target computer before attempting to access its TCP/IP Configuration Notebook from your web server's Remote Login Page (see the online TCP/IP Guide for instructions).

To log in to the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook, do the following:

  1. Open the Computer's TCP/IP folder on the OS/2 desktop and double-click the TCP/IP Configuration icon.

    Several status messages will appear, followed by the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook if your access is local.

    If your access is remote, a TCP/IP Configuration Authorization window will appear with Host Name and Password fields to be completed.

    If you are a remote user, do this:

    1. In the Host Name field, type the host name or IP address of the computer you want to configure.

    2. Type the TCP/IP administrator password for that computer in the Password field.

    3. Click OK to proceed, Cancel to quit.

      If you click OK, the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook appears.

  2. To view different sections of the TCP/IP Configuration Notebook, select one of the tabs that appear across the top of the notebook. The tabs are Network, Routing, Host Names, Autostart, General, Security, SOCKS, and Printing.

    Some sections of the notebook have sub-tabs, which appear near the lower left part of the page and are also selectable. For example, the Network tab has Basic, Advanced 1, and Advanced 2 sub-tabs.

  3. To exit the notebook when finished, click OK at the bottom of the page.

    You will be asked if you want to save the changes you have made, if any.
