Network Services
Other network services are available in this dialog and are disabled by default. It is not recommended
that you adjust these settings without suitable knowledge of what you are doing, as you could disturb an
existing network’s configuration. Consult the administrator of the network you are using before enabling
any additional Network Services.
Network Configuration Applications (Utilities Tab)
These buttons will become available if you have also installed NCE or GCE software on the Cobalt
Nomad computer in the default locations offered at installation. If you choose to install into a different
folder, you cannot use these buttons as a shortcut to these programs.
