Viewing Network Resources
Viewing Network Resources
With commands from the View menu, you can view servers and shared
resources on the network, and you can view users on a server or in a domain.
You can also view Windows for Workgroups resources.
After you log on, a list of servers in your workstation domain (or in your
logon domain when you specify a domain other than your workstation
domain at logon) appears in the list box on the LAN Manager screen. You
may not have access to all the servers listed, and not all of the servers you
have access to may be visible. Your administrator determines whether a
server is visible on the network. Check with your administrator to find out
which servers are available to you.
For information about using a LAN Manager client to connect to a Windows
for Workgroups or Workgroup Connections resource, see the Microsoft
Windows for Workgroups or Microsoft Wokgroup Connections
documentation.
NOTE: To view resources on the server, the network server running the Netlogon service and
the MS-DOS workstation must both run the same protocol (for example, NetBEUI).
If the workstation and server are not running the same protocol, attempts to view
resources on the server will fail.
If you are experiencing problems viewing resources, see your network administrator.
Setting the Current Focus
When you start the LAN Manager screen, the Current Focus line and the Set
Current Focus On text box display your workstation’s computername. These
displays indicate that the current focus of your activity when you use menus
and dialog boxes is your workstation.
To connect to shared resources and perform other tasks on servers, you must
first change the current focus to the server sharing the resources you want to
view or use. This makes the server the current focus of activity.
