1. We use adress such as 192.1.1.100, 192.1.1.101 for servers.
2. Adresses such as 192.1.1.1, 192.1.1.2 for clients.
3. The mask for both Win95 and SCO will be 255.255.255.0
4. The bradcast address when required is 192.1.1.255.
5. SCO will fill in the mask and bradcast address automatically.
6. On our systems, the SCO default network speed is 100Mbs - we have to use
the advanced options to set this to Auto or 10Mbs.
7. Relink the kerel and reboot.
8. ON Win95, make sure you test the network by acessing other PCs using
Windows normal NETBEUI. Install TCP/IP and set properties to the above
address and mask.
9. Reboot PC and the Run | ping 192.1.1.100. This will access the server
and should give an immediate response. Ping 192.1.1.2 to access another
client.
10. From the SCO server, ping 192.1.1.1. This will access the client PC.
11. Edit /etc hosts to give entries like
192.1.1.1 client1
192.1.1.2 client2
or on the PCs
192.1.1.100 server1
12. try ping client1, ping server, etc from the various systems
13.From Win95 - DOS run 'telnet server1' or 'telnet 192.1.1.100' and login
to your Unix system.
14. Load the PCs using the SCO CDROM with SCOTermlite, a better telnet
emulation which will allow you to run your Unix applications.
15. If this all works, start looking at systems which give NFS access and
then you can use the SCO system as a networked server drive for Windows
files, network printing from Unix to the PC printers and vice versa, backups
from Windows to the server and lots of other goodies.
>OK group, I need a lesson in SCO networking 101.

>Question 3: What do I set the broadcast address to:
>Question 4: How do I set up the W-95 clients to log into the Unix server.
