P R E F A C E About AppleShare IP 6.0 AppleShare IP 6.0 is server software that provides World Wide Web, file sharing, mail, and print services to clients on local area networks (LANs), intranets, and the Internet. Key new features in 6.0 include built-in support for Windows file sharing and the IMAP mail protocol, print service over TCP/IP, secure printing, and separate guest access for Web & File services. Here is a brief description of the AppleShare IP 6.0 suite of products: m The AppleShare IP 6.
AppleShare IP 6.0 also comes with additional software to help you run your servers more effectively and efficiently. See the folders and files on your AppleShare IP 6.0 CD. What’s Covered in This Manual This manual provides instructions on how to install and set up the AppleShare IP 6.0 software. Once you’ve installed and set up the appropriate software on your server and client computers, you can refer to the onscreen documentation for information about using the software.
AppleShare IP Help If you have a question about how to use AppleShare IP 6.0, open any of the AppleShare IP 6.0 administration programs and choose Help from the Help menu. Choosing Help opens AppleShare IP Help in your preferred Web browser program. AppleShare IP Help explains how to use the AppleShare IP 6.0 software and troubleshoot problems that may arise while using the software. You can also open AppleShare IP Help by double-clicking its icon in the AppleShare IP 6.0 folder.
C H A P T E R 1 1 Installing AppleShare IP 6.0 Whether you are upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare or installing it for the first time, you need to follow the instructions in this chapter. This chapter tells you how to m plan your AppleShare IP services m prepare your computer’s environment and software m install AppleShare IP 6.0 Note: Your server should already be set up and connected to your network. If your server or network is not set up, set it up before continuing with this chapter.
Your network administrator should be able to help you answer these questions. If you do not have a network administrator or if you need more assistance, use the “Network Configuration Setup Guide” in the Tutorials folder on your AppleShare IP 6.0 CD. You may also want to consult an Internet service provider (ISP) to help you answer these questions before continuing with your AppleShare IP installation. Preparing Your Computer’s Environment Before you install your AppleShare IP 6.
m Disk space: You need approximately 25 megabytes (MB) of disk space to install all of the AppleShare IP 6.0 software. For the best server performance, you may want to install one or more server programs on a separate computer. For example, by installing the Web & File software on one server and the print and mail software on another, you can “balance the load” on AppleShare IP 6.0 services. This practice often improves performance and reliability for high-volume services.
Note: Any access privileges of folders you move that don’t exactly match the new access privileges in AppleShare IP 6.0 are converted to the closest match that provides the most security. For more information about access privileges in AppleShare IP 6.0, see the Users & Groups section of AppleShare IP Help. Print Queues If you’re upgrading from a previous version of the AppleShare Print Server, your Print Server setup is not retained. You will need to create new queues after you install AppleShare IP 6.0.
Backing Up Necessary Files Depending on the file sharing program and system software version you’ve been using, you may want to make backup copies or record certain information before proceeding. m If you’re upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare or AppleShare IP, back up your System Folder using a backup application that can copy invisible files.
Setting Up Your Network Identity You need to set your network identity and password in the File Sharing control panel to be able to log on to the servers and make yourself the default owner of shared disks. Note: If you’re upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare or if you used the Mac OS Setup Assistant after installing Mac OS 8.1, your file sharing settings will be retained. You can skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23.
Setting Up AppleTalk In order to provide file sharing, print, or mail services over AppleTalk, you need to set your AppleTalk network connection in the AppleTalk control panel. Note: If you’re upgrading from a previous version of AppleShare or if you used the Mac OS Setup Assistant after installing Mac OS 8.1, your AppleTalk settings will be retained. You can skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23. To set up the AppleTalk control panel, follow these steps: 1 Open the AppleTalk control panel.
Setting Up TCP/IP In order to enable users to use file sharing services over TCP, visit your Web site, or use TCPbased client mail or FTP applications, you need to set your computer’s network connections in the TCP/IP control panel. Note: If you have already set up your TCP/IP control panel or completed the Internet Setup Assistant after installing Mac OS 8.1, you do not need to follow the instructions in this section. Skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23.
The TCP/IP window shows the basic TCP/IP options. 5 Choose the network connection you are using to connect over TCP/IP from the “Connect via” pop-up menu. This setting determines the port that your server will use to connect to your TCP/IP network. 6 Choose Manually from the Configure pop-up menu. 7 Type the IP address for your AppleShare IP server in the IP Address text box. An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a set of four numbers from 0 to 255, separated by dots (for example, 172.16.54.2).
A domain name (or DNS) server lets users identify computers by name instead of by IP address. You can specify as many name servers as you want as long as you press Return after each address, and you do not type more than 255 characters. If no other computer on your network provides DNS service, you can install MacDNS—an implementation of DNS for the Mac OS. AppleShare IP Easy Setup (described in Chapter 2) will set up and start MacDNS on your server.
Because of the disadvantages of using dynamic addresses, Apple recommends you obtain a static IP address for each computer on which you will install AppleShare IP services. If your ISP has provided you with software that automatically configures your TCP/IP control panel, do not change the settings made by the ISP software program. Skip ahead to “Setting Up Energy Saver” on page 23.
5 Choose PPP from the “Connect via” pop-up menu. 6 Choose Manually from the Configure pop-up menu. 7 Type your computer’s IP address in the IP Address text box, and the IP addresses of your ISP’s domain name server in the “Name server addr” text box. Your ISP will provide the information that you use to fill in the “IP Address” and “Name server addr” boxes. For descriptive information about these settings, see steps 7 and 10 in “Setting Up TCP/IP” on page 16.
The PPP control panel appears. 10 Click the Registered User radio button. 11 Type your name in the Name text box.

The Modem control panel appears.
17 Choose the name of your modem from the Modem pop-up menu. If you do not see your modem listed in the Modem pop-up menu, you need to install your modem software. For instructions, see the documentation that came with your modem. 18 If you want to hear the modem when it dials, click the “Sound: On” radio button. 19 If the telephone line that your modem uses supports tone dialing, click the Tone radio button. Otherwise, click the Pulse radio button.
The following information appears. 25 Click the “Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications” checkbox so that a checkmark appears. Enabling this feature allows the Mail Server to maintain an open connection with the DNS server so that it can obtain DNS information as needed (to send outgoing mail or check for incoming mail). 26 Click the “Disconnect if idle” checkbox so that a checkmark appears. To change the default of 10 minutes, type a different number in the text box.
1 Open the Energy Saver control panel. 2 Make sure that the “Shut down instead of sleeping” box is not checked. 3 Drag the system sleep slider all the way to the right to “Never.” 4 Click the Show Details button and make sure that the “Separate timing for hard disk sleep” checkbox is not checked. 5 Choose Server Settings from the Preferences menu.

6 Click the Attached Printers tab. A list of the printers that are available in the chosen AppleTalk zone appears. 7 If you want to attach a printer that’s located in a different AppleTalk zone, choose a different zone from the Zone pop-up menu. If your network does not have any zones, the pop-up menu is not available. 8 To attach a printer, select the printer, then click the Attach Printer button to the left of the printer list.
9 If you do not want users to be able to print directly on this printer, click the Hide checkbox to the right of the printer so that a checkmark appears. When the Hide checkbox is not checked, both the queue and the individual printer appear in the Chooser, and users can choose either one. Being able to print directly on a printer may be useful for applications that allow the feeding of individual sheets of paper, such as envelopes, to the printer. 10 Click Save.
If you want to attach a printer that’s connected to your TCP/IP network or learn about other Print Server options, see the Print Server section in AppleShare IP Help after you complete the instructions in this manual. The Print Server is now set up. Go to the next section for information on how to get client users ready to use AppleShare IP 6.0. Getting Users Ready Now that you’ve finished setting up your AppleShare IP 6.
For instructions on how to share this folder and assign privileges, follow the instructions under “Setting Up File Sharing for the First Time” on page 49. 5 Provide users with the information they need to find the shared folder using the Chooser. Users should open the Chooser and select the AppleShare icon, the zone in which the Web & File Server is located, and the name of the server and volume they need to access. The server name is the computer name that you entered in the File Sharing control panel.
Ideally, you should upgrade all Macintosh clients on your network to use the same version of the printer driver. The Print Server also accepts connections from users of Apple IIGS computers and Newton devices. To check the version number of the printer driver, select the LaserWriter icon in the Extensions folder (inside the System Folder) and choose Get Info from the File menu. Windows Client Services AppleShare IP 6.
A P P E N D I X Changing the Startup Disk The AppleShare IP 6.0 servers use several files located in the System Folder of your startup disk. If you change your startup disk after you install any of the AppleShare IP server programs, you need to install AppleShare IP 6.0 on the new startup disk and copy certain files and folders from the old startup disk to the new startup disk.
This step is not necessary if you are adding a disk that will be the new startup disk and you plan to use both hard disks. 8 If you are replacing your startup disk and if your computer is being used to share data, use the Web & File Admin program’s Duplicate Folder command to copy shared folders from the startup disk to the new hard disk. Do not use the Finder to copy the folders because the folders’ access privileges will not be retained.
Verify that folders are being shared correctly. If Web service is enabled, use the Web & File Admin program to verify and set the location (if necessary) of the Web folder and default.html file. If FTP service is enabled, verify that it is working correctly. 16 If your computer is being used to run the Mail Server, start the Mail Server. Verify that the Mail Server is using the correct mail database by checking the Mail Server log. For information, see the Mail Server section of AppleShare IP Help.
