●
Install the FriendlyShare software on the computer that will act as the server.
●
Verify your installation(s) and resolve any open issues.
The rest of this chapter describes how to carry out these tasks.
Setting Up Cable Modems and ADSL:
For FriendlyShare Server workstations that are connected via a cable or ADSL modem, you need two Network Interface
Cards (NICs): one for the Internet connection and another to connect to the local network. Using two NICs creates a
secure separation between your local network and the Internet and also ensures that local network traffic won’t create
extra load on the backbone.
Preparing to Install
Before you install the FriendlyShare software, be sure to complete the following tasks:
●
Create Troubleshooting Tool
In order to troubleshoot your LAN and Internet connection, you will need to have the “WhatRoute” ping
program on each client computer. You can do this by copying the “WhatRoute” program to a floppy
diskette, or directly to the hard drive of the client system.
●
Configuring Your Installation
During installation, the Setup program assigns TCP/IP settings automatically for each FriendlyShare
Manager installation. In most cases, you do not need to change your configuration.
For the FriendlyShare server machine, the IP address is assigned by your ISP. For the Client workstations, the
IP address is assigned dynamically by the built-in FriendlyShare DHCP server. You do not need to manually
change TCP/IP settings unless automatic configuration failed during installation or if you have client
systems running on other platforms (such as Windows, Windows NT, Solaris, or Linux). To manually recon-
figure TCP/IP settings, use the settings in the table below. For more information on FriendlyShare
configuration, see Configuring the FriendlyShare Manager.
