Redbook Abstract
IBM Network Station Guide for Windows NT, SG24-2127-01
  Abstract
This redbook covers what one needs to know to install, configure and operate a Windows NT Server based on either Windows NT 4.0 or WinCenter (Windows NT 3.51) to act as a DHCP server, a boot server and an application server for a network of IBM Network Stations. It describes what the installation process creates, what the configuration files contain, how they are structured and how to modify them, how to configure the IBM TCP/IP services on the boot server, how to use the Network Station Manager program to provide a user friendly configuration interface, how to use the functions and facilities on the network station itself to run applications, how to customize the user's desktop and some tools, tips and techniques which are useful to do problem determination. Please Note: We have made a conscious effort not to repeat information here which is generic to the IBM Network Station and has already been published in other redbooks. Therefore, we have tried to focus only on issues related to the Windows NT platform, whenever possible.

We list, in the Introduction Chapter, the other redbooks and what they contain that can be useful to the reader, in addition to the information provided here. Please refer to these other publications to get additional details on the IBM Network Station. NOTE: This book, originally published in November 1997, was revised in March 1998 to include information on WinCenter in addition to Windows NT 4.0. Changes that were made in the previous existing chapters (Part 1 chapters) are indicated with a revision bar in the left margin, such as the first paragraph above or this paragraph. We did not use a revision bar in the chapters for Part 2 since they are all new chapters.
