MacIPX control panel A-3
To have MacIPX select the frame type:
1. In the MacIPX control panel, double-click the selected network
interface icon.
You see the Access Configuration dialog box for your chosen
network interface. For example, if you click the Ethernet icon, you
see the Ethernet Access Configuration dialog box, where you can set
parameters for working with Ethernet.
2. In the Access Configuration dialog box, click Always Auto-Configure
Frame Type.
3. Click OK to close the dialog box.
When you start up your computer, MacIPX determines the
appropriate frame type by monitoring packets on the network. When
this option is checked, the buttons for the frame types are unavailable.
Note When IPX is using more than one frame type on a network,
MacIPX might not choose the frame type you require. If, after
configuring the MacIPX control panel, you are unable to connect to
FileMaker Pro databases using the Network Access dialog box (or the
files are not listed), you may have the wrong frame type selected for
your network. Try turning off Always Auto-Configure Frame Type and
then select the appropriate frame type. Consult your network
administrator if you have questions.
The dialog box shows the
currently selected frame type
