To share files among users on a network, you need to have the following
additional software and hardware installed on your PC:
1 a Windows-compatible network card
1 the software driver for your network card
1 the appropriate IPX/SPX network protocol or TCP/IP network protocol
for Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, or
Windows 3.1
Note FileMaker Pro 3.0v3 supports only IPX/SPX networking under
Windows 3.1.
You can use one of the following solutions to share files on a PC or mixed
MacOS computer and PC network.See the documentation that came with
Windows or your network card for more information.
Before you begin
Before you begin the installation process, lock your FileMaker Pro disks. For
the 3.5-inch disks, slide the tab in the upper-right corner of the disk so that
the small “window” is open. The CD-ROM is already write-protected.
Installing Win32s
If you are using Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you need
to install Win32s 1.30c before installing FileMaker Pro. If you have already
installed Win32s version 1.30c or later, skip to “Installing FileMaker Pro”
on page 1-4. After installing Win32s, you will still be able to run all the
applications you currently use. If an earlier version of Win32s is installed on
your system, you can use the following procedure to update it.
