Network Protocols
When you install a RoamAbout PC Card in a computer using a Windows operating system,
you may need to install and configure a set of networking protocols. The type of protocols
needed depends on the network operating system used within your LAN environment. The
most common protocols are:
• IPX/SPX compatible protocols if your networking environment is using the Novell
NetWare network operating system.
• NetBEUI if you want to use file and print sharing supported by Microsoft Client for
Microsoft Networks.
• TCP/IP if you want to connect your computer to a network that uses IP addressing or
you would like to connect to the Internet.
These networking protocols can operate simultaneously with other networking protocols.
When you install a RoamAbout PC Card in an Apple computer, you may need to install and
enable Apple’s Open Transport or Apple Classic network protocols along with TCP/IP.
