Installation and New Features Guide (Windows)

Installing FileMaker Pro in Windows 2-15
To share FileMaker Pro database files:
1 Use the Windows Setup program to set the network to the appropriate
NetWare option (usually NetWare 3.26 or later).
1 Add the following entries to your NET.CFG (or SHELL.CFG) file:
GET LOCAL TARGET STACKS=10
SPX CONNECTIONS=40
Get local target stacks needs to be set on all guest machines. SPX
connections should be set on the host machine if it will host more than
twelve guests, or on guest machines using additional SPX applications.
Consider increasing the SPX connections if you cannot connect the
desired number of guests.
Changing the frame type
After you select IPX/SPX as the network protocol, you must select a
frame type. A frame encapsulates packets of information in a
recognizable format; all computers communicating with each other on a
network must use the same frame type. For help in deciding which frame
type to select, see your network administrator.
Note If you are using TCP/IP networking, you do not need to change the
frame type.
Changing the frame type in Windows 98 or Windows 95
To change the frame type with IPX/SPX networking:
1. Open the Network control panel and click the Configuration tab.
2. Open IPX/SPX Compatible Protocol and click Properties.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Click the frame type in the Property dialog box.
5. Make a selection from the Value drop-down list.
6. Click OK.
Both Windows 98 and Windows 95 prompt you to restart your computer
for these new changes to take effect.
