Installation guide

One notable selection is 'Auto Connect' - when you enable this
feature, the connection will be created at the moment you start InJoy,
this can be very usefull for unattended login procedures when combined
with Dial On Demand (Available at the 'Disconnect Actions'
screen)
The other interesting feature, as described above, is the NAT option.
Select this if you would like to share your connection with other PC's in
your LAN. For information how to configure this feature properly, please
refer to the online documentation of InJoy, or the website at:
http://www.fx.dk/injoy/
ISDN adapters
If you use an ISDN adapter to connect to the Internet, you can also use
the above described programs when:
! you use an external adapter, connected to your serial port
! you install and configure cFos/2, which is a driver that converts your
ISDN device to a 'normal' serial modem. For more information on
cFos, please consult their website: http://www.cfos.com/
Otherwise you will need to install and configure ISDNPM, which also
ships with eComStation in a limited (but useable) eCS version. The full
ISDNPM features NAT (like InJoy does) and highly advanced options.
The version included with eComStation has no time limit but it is limited
to one ISDN or PPPoE session via IP-Interface (slx) without NAT, Filters
and Accounting. For more information, or installation, please refer to the
ThirdParty eCSGuide available from: WiseMachine -> Utility ->
Selective Install -> eCS Additional Packages -> Thirdparty.
Cable Connections
Cable Internet Access is by far the easiest to use and setup in
eComStation. All that is required is that you install and configure the
TCP/IP stack as described in Chapter 2. You can setup your IP
configuration in detail by opening the Internet -> TCP/IP -> TCP/IP
Configuration (local) from your desktop.
Note that some Cable Internet Service Providers use a serial modem
to connect you to the Internet and use a special login-'phone'-number
you can use. If this is the case with your provider, use Internet Dial Up
from Internet -> Dial Up Tools or InJoy as described above, instead.
(A)DSL
(A)DSL modems can be used with eComStation when your provider
uses the PPPoE protocol. To enable this, you will need to install InJoy
Chapter 4: Getting Connected 23
PPoE from the WiseMachine -> Utility -> Selective Install -> eCS
Additional Packages -> eCS BonusPak eCSGuide.
Please note that InJoy PPoE installs a driver to your system which will
not work under all conditions. Refer to the online documentation to
make sure you understand the issues involved.
The InJoy PPPoE Client is designed to offer reliable PPP over Ethernet
(PPPoE) connectivity. For the full description and the complete list of
features, refer to the product homepage: http://www.fx.dk/pppoe/
This version is fully functional and licensed for the use with
eComStation.
Some Internet Service Providers use another protocol to give you
access to the Internet, the main one being PPPTP. For example KPN
MxStream in Holland uses this protocol. Currently the only way you can
access the Internet through PPPTP is by purchasing InJoy FireWall
Professional and requesting special PPPTP drivers from F/X
communications. For more information we refer to F/X:

LAN
Using your Local Area Network to access the Internet is possible when
the TCP/IP protocol is installed and configured as described in Chapter
2. The main thing you need to know is whether your LAN uses DHCP to
assign IP addresses to workstations, or that it uses static IP addresses.
Consult your network administrator if in doubt. You can setup your IP
configuration in detail by opening the Internet -> TCP/IP -> TCP/IP
Configuration (local) from your desktop.
Local Networking
eComStatiom has very excellent support for other networking operating
systems (NOS) besides IBM LAN Server (or Warp Server), such as
Novell and Banyan. It also supports several networking protocols.
TCP/IP is the most popular these days, but eComStation offers NetBios
(NetBEUI), NetBios over TCP/IP (TCPBEUI), IBM IEEE 802.2, Netware
and Banyan. The most important feature of all this networking support is
that the requester's execute concurrently. Meaning that you can run
them all at the same time!
In the present eComStation architecture, this networking is referred to
as Multi-Protocol Transport Services. The support is provided by drivers
