Precautions

Please pay attention to the following
when using the network interface
board. When configuration is neces-
sary, follow the appropriate proce-
dures below.
Connecting a Dial-Up Router
to a Network
When Using NetWare (File Server)
When the NetWare file server and
printer are on the opposite side of a
router, packets are continuously sent
back and forth, possibly incurring
communications charges. Because
packet transmission is a specification
of NetWare, you need to change the
configuration of the router. If the net-
work you are using does not allow
you to configure the router, configure
the machine.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Configuring the router
Filter packets so they do not pass
over the dial-up router.
