Installing Your Software

 

Whether you are upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare or installing it for the first 
time, you need to follow the instructions in this chapter. 

This chapter tells you how to

 

m

 

plan your AppleShare IP services

 

m

 

prepare your computer’s environment and software

 

m

 

install Mac OS 8.5 and AppleShare IP

 

Your server should already be set up and connected to your network. If your server or 

network is not set up, set it up before continuing with this chapter.

 

Planning Your AppleShare IP Services

 

Depending on the services you plan to provide to your users and on how your network is set 
up, you’ll need to answer the following questions before you install AppleShare IP. 

 

m

 

Will your clients be connecting to the AppleShare IP server via AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or both?

 

m

 

What types of clients are on your network—Mac OS, Windows, UNIX?

 

m

 

What type of physical connection (for example, Ethernet or LocalTalk) does your 
AppleShare IP server have to your intranet or the Internet?

 

m

 

What is your server’s IP address, subnet mask, router address, and name server address? 

 

m

 

Does your network have a computer that provides Domain Name System (DNS) service, 
or will you install this service? (DNS software is provided in your AppleShare IP 6.1 folder.)

Your network administrator should be able to help you answer these questions. If you do not 
have a network administrator or if you need more assistance, see the TCP/IP Connections 
Tutorial and the Network Configuration Setup Guide in the Tutorials folder on your 
AppleShare IP CD. You may also want to consult an Internet service provider (ISP) to help 
you answer these questions before continuing with your AppleShare IP installation.
