[. . . ] The following dialog box appears. 13 Verify that your computer's startup disk is named in the Installer window as the destination disk. If the wrong disk is shown, click Switch Disk until the name of your startup disk appears.

Your AppleShare IP or network administrator should be able to help you with any of these tasks. Connecting to a Server You can use the AppleShare software to connect to a file server on your network. 1 2 Choose the Chooser from the Apple (K) menu. Click the AppleShare icon in the upper-left box of the window. 6 If your network contains zones, they are listed in the AppleTalk Zones list. (If your network has no zones, this list does not appear. ) When you select a zone, AppleShare file servers in that zone are listed in the upper-right portion of the window. 3 Click the zone (if any) and the file server you want to connect to. Your network administrator should tell you the name of the zone (if any) to select. A file server may be available in more than one zone. For best performance, connect to a server in the same zone as your own computer. ( Your computer's zone is displayed in the "Current zone" pop-up menu in the AppleTalk control panel. ) Important If your computer and the file server are set up for TCP, the connection is made over TCP automatically. Otherwise, the connection is made over AppleTalk. Note: If the server and client are not on the same AppleTalk network, the server may not appear in the "Select a file server" list. To connect to the server, click the Server IP Address button and enter the server's IP address or DNS name in the dialog box that appears. If it takes more than a few seconds to contact the server, a connection status box appears. When your computer is connected to the server, a dialog box similar to the following appears. 5 6 7 Click Guest to log on as a guest user. (If guest access isn't allowed on the file server, the Guest button is not available. ) Or click Registered User and enter your name and password. In the window that appears, click the name of the volume or volumes you want to use. If you click the checkbox next to the name of a volume, your computer will connect to the volume automatically the next time it starts up. Warning Don't connect to more than one volume with the same name--even if the volumes are in different zones; they may actually represent the same volume located on a server that can be accessed in several zones. If you log on to the same server in two zones and you attempt to copy files or folders from one volume to another, data loss will occur. Note: The files and folders that you can see on the server depend on the access privileges that your administrator has assigned to the volume. For more information about access privileges, ask your administrator or see "About Access Privileges" on page 9. 8 Click OK. When the connection is made, the selected volume appears on your desktop. To see the files and folders it contains, double-click the volume's icon. [. . . ] If a crossed-out pencil appears in the top-left corner of the window of an open folder or server volume, you can't make changes. m Choose Get Info and then choose Sharing from the submenu. (In older versions of system software, choose Sharing from the File menu. ) A window shows you who owns the folder and what privileges you have for the folder. If you own the folder, this is also where you can change the privileges you've assigned. Setting Access Privileges You can change the access privileges to folders that you own on the file server. Note: You can also set access privileges to items on your hard disk, then make them available to others on your network using the built-in file sharing capabilities of your Macintosh. [. . . ]
