Checking and installing network protocols in Windows NT 4.0

Networking with MYOB Plus Overview > Putting it all together > Checking and installing network protocols > Windows NT 4.0

Follow these steps to check to see which network protocols are installed on computers running Windows NT 4.0.

  1. From the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel. When the Control Panel is displayed, double-click Network to open the Network control panel.

  2. Under the Protocols tab, check to see whether NetBIOS, NetBEUI or TCP/IP is listed.

    If NetBIOS or NetBEUI are listed and you wish to use one of these protocols, the computer you're checking should be able to run Plus without following these instructions any further (remember, however, that you should perform this check on all the computers on your network); if this is the case, feel free to skip to the Installing MYOB Plus and creating a company file.

    If TCP/IP is listed and you wish to use it, you'll need to assign an IP address to the computer before it's ready to run Plus in multi-user mode on your network. See How to assign an IP address to a computer (TCP/IP users only) to learn more about this process.

    If none of the protocols are listed, or if the protocol you wish to use isn't listed, continue to the next step.

  1. Click the Add button. A list of available protocols will be displayed. If NetBIOS, NetBEUI or TCP/IP appears in the list, choose the protocol you want, and then click OK. If none of these protocols are displayed in the list, you'll need to install the protocols using your Windows NT CD or diskettes. (We recommend that you refer to your Windows NT documentation to learn more about installing network protocols.)

  1. That's it! This computer is ready to run Plus on a network! Close the control panel windows that are open, and don't forget to check all the computers on your network using these steps.
