Checklist for network connections
Enable the network port for LapLink connections
Access to a network by e-mail and other programs does not
automatically provide network access in LapLink. To con-
nect by network in LapLink, your network port must be en-
abled—that is, made available for use in LapLink. To enable
a network port in LapLink, click Port Setup (Options menu).
Click the type of network—either IPX or TCP/IP—in the
Ports list. Then check the Enable Port box. If the network is
IPX, click Configure, and ensure that Internetwork Name
Broadcast is checked.

Run LapLink on both computers
No connections are possible by network or any other means
unless LapLink is running on both computers. You can con-
nect to a computer running LapLink Gold or another Win-
dows-based version of LapLink. Verify that the computer has
a network port enabled for the same kind of network connec-
tion as your network port.

Refresh the list of connections

ed connecting, you may need to refresh the list of available
connections in order to include the computer in the list. Click

Ensure that the network is installed
LapLink cannot connect by network unless a network proto-
col—either IPX or TCP/IP—is installed. Network protocols
are installed using the Networks option in the Windows Con-
trol Panel. See your Windows Help and documentation for
information on adding network protocols, or consult your net-
work administrator.
