Control or Screen View service and asking whether you want to permit this user to use this service on your system. You can click Yes or No. If you do not make a selection within 15 seconds (for example, if you are not sitting at your system when the access attempt is made), Netfinity Manager will automatically prevent the remote user from using the service on your system. Disable DNS Name Resolution If the Disable DNS Name Resolution option is enabled, Netfinity Manager will use only a numeric TCP/IP address (for example, 8.24.67.32) to communicate with remote systems and will not attempt to resolve the numeric address into an alphanumeric Domain Name Server (DNS) address (for example, your.system.ibm.com). Select this option if you are using Netfinity Manager in a WINS networking environment or if you are using TCP/IP in an environment that does not have a Domain Name Server. To implement one or more of the available Netfinity Manager Options: 1) Click Options.... 2) Select the Netfinity Manager options to be enabled. 3) Click Save. f. Set the Network Timeout Value (optional). The Network Timeout field shows the number of seconds that Netfinity Manager will attempt to communicate with a remote system that is not responding. If Netfinity Manager does not establish contact with the remote system within this time, it cancels the communication attempt. The Network Timeout default setting is 15 seconds. This default setting might not need to be altered. g. Save the configuration and continue. Click Save to save the configuration. Then, click Exit to continue. Note: The configuration can be changed later by double-clicking the Network Driver Configuration object in the Netfinity folder. 12. After finishing configuring the system for network access, the installation program displays a list of changes that must be made to the system configuration files, and asks whether the installation program should make the changes. For example, if Netfinity Manager for Windows 95 is being installed, the installation program will display a list of changes that must be made to the CONFIG.SYS file. Click either Yes or No. Note: These changes must be made to the system configuration for Netfinity Manager to run correctly. If you click Yes the changes are automatically made to the system configuration. If you click No the commands are saved to a file named CONFIG.NEW in the destination directory (and to AUTOEXEC.NEW, if appropriate) so that they can be added later. 13. The installation is now complete. Shut down and restart the system for the system configuration changes to take effect. 44 Netfinity® 4000R User's Handbook
