Logging On to Your Network

When you power on your computer, be sure to enter your network password at
the logon prompt. If you click on Cancel to bypass the logon, you will be unable
to access your network disk drives.

Private Folders

If you receive a message that indicates a resource is not available when you
double-click on the shortcut to a private folder:
1. Click on the shortcut again in a few minutes. The new private folder
may not be detected within the system yet.
2. Be sure the shortcut is up to date. Update your shortcuts if the folder
has moved or if the name or workgroup for your network disk drive has
changed.

Mobile Computing

If you cannot locate a network disk drive after moving your laptop from one
network to another, run the Windows IP Configuration program. This program
updates the address information that your PC receives from the network.
To update address information using Windows 95 or Windows 98:
1. From the Start button, select Run, type winipcfg, and click on OK.
The IP Configuration window opens.
2. Select the Ethernet adapter for your computer from the drop-down
menu.
3. Click on Release All.
4. Click on Renew All.
5. Click on OK.
To update address information using Windows NT, you must have NT
Administrator privileges:
1. Log on to your NT workstation as Administrator.
2. From the Start button, go to Programs > MS DOS Prompt.
3. At the prompt, type ipconfig /release, and press [Enter].
Your PC releases its old address information.
4. At the DOS prompt, type ipconfig /renew, and press [Enter].
Your PC obtains the new address information.
5. At the prompt, type exit to exit DOS.
You can now connect to your network disk drive.
