5.  Notes & tips

Making installation disks
This software can be installed directly from the files extracted from the
archive you downloaded.  However, these files will not all fit on a single
floppy for installation on other systems.  You can make a set of
installation disks by following the procedure below.

To make installation disks
You need 2 formatted, high-density disks. 
   1. From the directory  where you downloaded this update, run
      MAKEDISK.EXE.
   2. Follow the instructions on the screen.  You'll be prompted to insert
      disks and label them.
   3. Use the new disks to install Netport Manager.  Insert disk 1 in a
      Windows workstation and run SETUP.EXE. Follow the instructions on the
      screen.

4.  Troubleshooting

   - NetportExpress print server doesn't show up in Netport Manager on a
     Windows* network.
        This is usually caused by a network protocol configuration
        problem on the workstation running Netport Manager.

        Here are some things to look for:
        - In a pure Windows network, NetBEUI is required for Netport Manager
        to discover the Netport print servers.  Make sure NetBEUI is
        loaded and bound to the proper adapter.

        - On Windows NT*, Remote Access Services (RAS) may be installed --
        try uninstalling it temporarily or make sure NetBEUI isn't bound
        to it.

        - If you're running Netport Manager on an NT system and you have
        multiple network adapters, Netport Manager will only discover
        Netport print servers on the network segment connected to the
        first adapter with NetBEUI bound to it.  You may need to change
        the order of the adapters in your system (in the Network option
        under Control Panel).

        - On Windows 95, make sure NetBEUI is the default protocol.
        Also, if a 'dial-up adapter' is present in your network
        configuration, make sure NetBEUI is not bound to it.
