Selecting the Networking Protocol 3
Upon initial installation, your Windows operating system will
typically install a basic set of networking protocols.
You may need to check whether the network installation process:
■ Truly added the protocols required to communicate with other
computers in your network environment.
■ Configured the appropriate protocol settings to allow
communication within your networking environment.
Infrastructure Networks 3
When connecting your station to a network infrastructure, you will
usually need additional networking protocols, according to the
network operating system used within your LAN environment.
The most common protocols are:
■ IPX/SPX compatible protocols when your networking
environment is using the Novell NetWare network operating
system.
■ NetBEUI when you would like to use file and printer sharing, as
supported by Microsoft Networking for Windows Workgroups.
■ TCP/IP when you would like to connect your computer to a
network that uses IP addressing, and/or you would like to
connect to the internet.
These networking protocols can operate simultaneously with any
other networking protocol.
Ad-hoc Workgroup Networks 3
When connecting your station to an ad-hoc wireless workgroup,
you will also need a networking protocol that will allow your station
to participate in peer-to-peer networking.
