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
Here is a brief description of the AppleShare IP 6.0 suite of products:
mThe AppleShare IP 6.0 Web & File Server allows your computer to host a Web site (using the HTTP 1.1 protocol) and provides three types of file sharing services: AppleShare File Sharing (using the AppleTalk Filing Protocol, or AFP) via TCP/IP or AppleTalk networks, Windows File Sharing (using the SMB/CIFS protocol via TCP/IP), and File Transfer Protocol (FTP). You manage Web and file services using the Web & File Admin program.
mThe AppleShare IP 6.0 Mail Server provides integrated mail storage and mail forwarding services over TCP/IP and AppleTalk networks, including support for Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAPv.4), Post Office Protocol (POP3), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). You manage mail services using the Mail Admin program.
mThe AppleShare IP 6.0 Print Server manages communication with the printers on your AppleTalk or TCP/IP network by allowing the server to act as a repository for print jobs. The Print Server also allows you to set up secure print queues to control who can print. You manage print services using the Print Admin program.
mAppleShare Client 3.8 is the software that allows Mac OS client computers to use AppleShare file sharing services. You need to install this software on your Mac OS client computers.
mMacDNS software provides Domain Name System (DNS) service for your network. You need to install DNS software in order to communicate with the Internet and to allow users to enter names instead of numeric IP addresses when, for example, sending
For detailed information on these product features, see AppleShare IP Help after completing the instructions in this manual. To access AppleShare IP Help, see “What’s Covered Onscreen.”

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
mplan your AppleShare IP services
mprepare your computer’s environment and software
minstall 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.
Important The AppleShare IP 6.0 license agreement allows you to install and use the server software (or the individual components thereof ) on a single computer. This agreement allows you to install the individual server programs on different computers; it does not allow you to install the same server software on more than one computer at a time. To install the server software on more than one computer, you need to purchase additional copies of the software. For more information, see the license agreement that appears when you install the AppleShare IP 6.0 software.
Planning Your AppleShare IP Services
Depending on the services you plan to provide to your users and on how your network is set up, you’ll need to answer the following questions before you install AppleShare IP.
mWill your clients be connecting to the AppleShare IP server via AppleTalk, TCP/IP, or both?
mWhat types of clients are on your
mWhat type of physical connection (for example, Ethernet or LocalTalk) does your AppleShare IP server have to your intranet or the Internet?
mWhat is your server’s IP address, subnet mask, router address, and name server address?
mDoes your network have a computer that is providing Domain Name System (DNS) service?
9
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 6.0 software, you need to prepare your computer and its environment. You prepare your computer’s environment by making sure you’ve considered security issues, hardware and software requirements, and facts about upgrading.
Security
AppleShare IP 6.0 uses share points, user authentication, and access privileges to protect data from unauthorized access over a network. That protection can be bypassed by someone with physical access to your computer. (Access privileges, for example, allow or deny access over the network; they cannot prevent someone from opening a folder directly on the computer running AppleShare IP.)
Note: Not all AppleShare IP services support these security measures to the same extent. For more information, see AppleShare IP Help after you complete the instructions in this manual.
If you have any concerns about physical
System Requirements
To install the AppleShare IP 6.0 software, you need the following hardware and software:
mHardware: Any Apple Power Macintosh computer or Apple Workgroup server with a G3, 604e, 604, or 601 processor, or a 6500 series computer with a 603e processor. Your computer should be set up and connected to your network.
To use the multihoming feature of AppleShare IP (described in the Web & File section in AppleShare IP Help), your computer must have a Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) expansion slot. Computers with a 601 processor and NuBus™ slots cannot use multihoming.
The AppleShare IP 6.0 Print Server only works with
