46 Proxy: Chapter 5
Starting the Proxy Host
The Proxy Host software, once installed and loaded, makes your workstation a
Proxy Host that is available to Proxy Master stations across the network.
The Proxy Host software can be run from the following PC operating systems:
Š
Windows or Windows 95 — Using a special Windows application,
PHOSTWIN.EXE, your PC will be available to Proxy Master stations
using the IP or IPX protocol.
Š
DOS — Using a DOS TSR, PHOST.EXE, your PC will be available to
Proxy Master stations using the IPX protocol.
You can run PHOST.EXE (in DOS) and PHOSTWIN.EXE (in Windows) at the
same time to make your PC available to Proxy Master stations from IPX, whether
your PC is in DOS or Windows.
In order to use the Proxy Host, you must use one of the following stacks:
Š
IPX: For Windows 3.x, you need to use Novell 16-bit (VLM) or 32-bit
Client IPX protocol support. For Windows 95, you need to use the
Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks, or Novell’s Client-32 IPX
protocol support.
Š
IP: For Windows 3.x, you need to use a Winsock-1.1 compliant IP stack.
For Windows 95, you need to use a TDI-compliant 32-bit IP stack, such
as Microsoft’s TCP/IP.
NOTE: When using IPX it is not necessary to be logged in to a server, or even to
run the NetWare client; all that is required is for IPX to be loaded.
The Host Control Panel
The Host Control Panel lets you view and alter the Proxy Host’s status and
settings. You can:
Š
See which Proxy Master, if any, is connected to the host PC
Š
Abort the connection with the Proxy Master
Š
Set the conditions under which a Proxy Master may establish a
connection
Š
Ask for beeps to notify you of a Proxy Master connection
